Know about the book -

Italian America is written by Margherita Ganeri and published by Mimesis. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 8857532178 (ISBN 10) and 9788857532172 (ISBN 13).

This book offers to the reader a tool to address the still largely uncharted territory of contemporary literature of migration. In addition to presenting and commenting on the production of the prolific writer Helen Barolini, the author Margherita Ganeri has a further ambition: to investigate the question that runs through the debate on the relationship between literary writing and socio-cultural groups, namely the possibility to define literature, and in particular Italian American literature, on the basis of ethnicity. The book includes a preface by Melania G. Mazzucco and an exclusive excerpt of Helen Barolini’s forthcoming Visits.
