Along with the early history and the literature, the foundation of Guernica Editions and the Association of Italian Canadian Writers are presented as driving forces in the development of Italian Canadian literature. Often vilified and displaced at the margins of both Italy and Canada, Italian Canadian writers are on the threshold of making names for themselves. In effect, their identities have constantly been negotiated through the diasporic movements within and outside of Italy and Canada, which put the issue of a double consciousness to the forefront. Caterina Edwards, Antonio D'Alfonso, and Pasquale Verdicchio are Italian Canadian writers concerned with the consequences of migration on new generations: loss, alienation, and split identities are shared feelings that continue to permeate their literary production. Besides bringing to the surface the stalemate reached after that initial awakening in 1978, these interviews dust off a new mode of aesthetic intrinsic of history and emotional ties.","PeriodicalId":165143,"journal":{"name":"Diasporic Italy: Journal of the Italian American Studies Association","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116713317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unilateral decision on the part of the US government to offer the approximate fifty-one thousand Italian POWs held in the US a chance to cooperate in the common cause of defeating Nazi Germany significantly shaped the different experiences and memories of those who either refused cooperation or decided to take an oath. While non-cooperators in Hereford were subjected to life behind barbed wire and severely reduced rations after the European war, those held at Letterkenny did not face armed guards and often socialized with Americans, especially Italian Americans. As a genre, these writings share common tropes of describing capture, oceanic transportation to the United States, initial awe of American abundance, and motivations for choosing to cooperate or not. Furthermore, most Italian POW memoirists and diarists also mutually remain silent about sexual desire, express fear for family members in Italy, articulate concepts of patriotism, and voice longing for repatriation. Differences instead denote the specific events that unfolded at each camp, largely shaped by the choice to cooperate or not. Greater efforts to recover and study memory writings from other camps will further enhance the larger tale of Italian World War II detainment, a unique aspect of the twentieth-century Italian diaspora.","PeriodicalId":165143,"journal":{"name":"Diasporic Italy: Journal of the Italian American Studies Association","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133335460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exploration contains three distinct perspectives and styles from literary artists and teachers who work with students in both traditional undergraduate university settings as well as adult learning settings in three states: New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Olivia Kate Cerrone, Kathy Curto, and Julia Lisella presented a version of this conversation during the roundtable discussion entitled “Teaching Italian American Authors in the Multi-Ethnic Literature Course” at the 53rd Annual Italian American Studies Association Conference held in November 2021. The theme of the conference was Diversity in Italian American Studies: The Status of Race, Gender and Sexual Orientation in Uncertain Times. The focus of this contribution is to offer readers practical strategies for including Italian American texts in their classes, as well as observations on the ways in which these texts affected the classroom dynamics and students’ writing and reflection on their own identities and experiences. The essay also suggests specific texts that can evoke discussions and writings that enable students to reach their learning objectives. The variety of courses taught and student populations served will give readers a deeper sense of how to apply these inclusions into their own syllabi. Common to the learning objectives of all the courses described in this essay is that students evaluate the impact of this literature on their understandings of their own identities as global citizens.","PeriodicalId":165143,"journal":{"name":"Diasporic Italy: Journal of the Italian American Studies Association","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131385402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the labor shortage in the area, the assimilation of Italians was more effective and second-generation Italians remained in the public school system longer. This combination of factors created more economic mobility for both foreign-born and second-generation Southbridge Italians. Factors that contributed to this unique circumstance included the intense competition for labor between two factories, American Optical Company (AO) and Hamilton Woolen Mill. Both firms were among the first in Massachusetts to invest in workplace English education and citizenship programs. This educational investment had the goal of retaining and advancing entry-level workers into skilled level positions. Furthermore, AO encouraged the town to establish a high school in 1917 and made substantial contributions to the establishment of a trade school in 1927. The Italian community in Southbridge developed their own institutions to promote cohesiveness and assimilation via their own social, community, and citizenship groups. There was also an increase in entrepreneurship within the Southbridge Italian community. Assimilation and upward economic mobility for Italians in Southbridge began in the workplace.","PeriodicalId":165143,"journal":{"name":"Diasporic Italy: Journal of the Italian American Studies Association","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114190846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
