Contents Women's cultures of resistance in Southern Italy -- La sartina (the seamstress) becomes a transnational labor migrant -- The racialization of Southern Italian women -- Surviving the shock of arrival and everyday resistance -- Anarchist feminists and the radical subculture -- The 1909-1919 strike wave and the birth of industrial unionism -- Red scare, the lure of fascism, and diasporic resistance -- Community organizing in a racial hall of mirrors.
Summary Guglielmo brings to life the Italian working-class women of New York and New Jersey who helped shape the vibrant radical political culture that expanded into the emerging industrial union movement. Tracing the activism of two generations of women who worked in the needle and textile trades, she explores the ways immigrant women and their American-born daughters drew on Italian traditions of protest to form new urban female networks of everyday resistance and political activism. And she shows how their commitment to revolutionary and transnational social movements diminished as they became whit.
