The Italian Diaspora

This course will examine the phenomenon of the Italian diaspora, that is, the fact that approximately twelve million people emigrated from Italy between circa 1850 and 1970. After considering the reasons for this mass emigration, we will focus on the social, cultural and linguistic impact that Italian immigrants and their descendants had on the countries to which they immigrated, in particular, the USA, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Australia.

Text: The readings for the classes will be supplied by the professor.
