505 0 "Excuse the errors, I'm writing at night by oil lamp ..."
: postwar Italian migrants and their letters -- "Even
though distance has now kept us apart ..." : kinship
across networks -- "My dear, you will have nothing else to
do but ..." : gender relations and dynamics -- "My dearest
love ..." : emotions at a distance.
520 "From dust-covered basement boxes and trunks of ordinary
people, here comes a path-breaking study of one of the
most important migration movements of the postwar era.
This is historical interdisciplinary analysis at its best,
and certainly bound to make us discover or re-think the
complex emotional universe that lies underneath a
migration movement. A must reading for anyone interested
in migration."--Bruno Ramirez, University of Montreal,
author of Crossing the 49th Parallel, Migration from
Canada to the United States, 1900-1930.
520 "A wise and insightful book. Cancian introduces us to
voices that have never been heard before and she allows
readers immersed in today's virtual communications to
understand how writing on paper, too, could contribute to
the achievement of dreams and the resolution of anxieties
and longings."--Donna R. Gabaccia, Director, Immigration
History Research Center, University of Minnesota, author
of Italy's Many Diasporas.
520 Families, Lovers, and their Letters takes us into the
passionate hearts and minds of ordinary people caught in
the heartbreak of transatlantic migration. It examines the
experiences of Italian migrants to Canada and their loved
ones left behind in Italy following the Second World War,
when the largest migration of Italians to Canada took
place.
520 In a micro-analysis of 400 private letters, including
three collections that incorporate letters from both sides
of the Atlantic, Sonia Cancian provides new evidence on
the bidirectional flow of communication during migration.
She analyzes how kinship networks functioned as a means of
support and control through the flow of news, objects, and
persons; how gender roles in productive and reproductive
spheres were reinforced as a means of coping with
separation; and how the emotional impact of both temporary
and permanent separation was expressed during the
migration process. Cancian also examines the love letter
as a specific form of epistolary exchange, a first in
Italian immigrant historiography, revealing the powerful
effect that romantic love had on the migration experience.
