Literary Voices of the Italian Diaspora in Britain: Time, Transnational Identities and Hybridity de Manuela D'Amore

Literary Voices of the Italian Diaspora in Britain: Time, Transnational Identities and Hybridity

Autor Manuela D'Amore
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 sep 2023
This volume studies the literary voices of the Italian diaspora in Britain, including 21 authors and 34 pieces of prose, verse, and drama. This book shows how authors both recount the history of the migrant community in the period 1880-1980 while creatively experimenting with hybrid forms of expression and blending words with visuals. Literary Voices of the Italian Diaspora in Britain discusses topical issues like migration and social integration, cultures and foods in transition, as well as plurilingualism. The book pays special attention to discussions of the horrors of the Second World War – especially on the tragedy of the Arandora Star (2nd July 1940) – to show this literary community’s political commitments. More importantly, it will begin to fill the void left by a critical tradition which has only appreciated the northern American and Australian branches of Italian writing.
