Produktbeschreibung

Provides an appreciation of the importance of Italian American texts in the study of American culture. The volume opens by outlining the history of Italians in the US and exploring the potential of literature and the arts to enable the recovery of a forgotten, even repressed, historical past. Over thirty scholars and teachers then present innovative ways of teaching Italian American texts and integrating them with other texts in courses ranging from American literature and history to multiethnic and women's studies.
