Immigration, Ethnicity, and Class in American Writing, 1830–1860

Reading the Stranger

By: Leonardo Buonomo

This book examines the close relationship between the portrayal of foreigners and the delineation of culture and identity in antebellum American writing. Both literary and historical in its approach, this study shows how, in a period marked by extensive immigration, heated debates on national and racial traits, during a flowering in American letters, encouraged responses from American authors to outsiders that not only contain precious insights into nineteenth-century America’s self-construction but also serve to illuminate our own time’s multicultural societies. The authors under consideration are alternately canonical (Emerson, Hawthorne, Melville), recently rediscovered (Kirkland), or simply neglected (Arthur). The texts analyzed cover such different genres as diaries, letters, newspapers, manuals, novels, stories, and poems.

From Pioneer to Nomad

Essays on Italian North American Writing

By: Leonardo Buonomo

In these essays Leonardo Buonomo reconsiders the Italian American experience from the point of view of the close relationship between writing and the processes of identity-construction. The authors analysed in this study -- Luigi Palma di Cesnola, Sister Blandina Segale, Emanuel Carnevali, John Fante, Jerre Mangione and Pasquale Verdicchio -- have found on the written page their true homeland, the place from which to survey critically the North American scene. These authors range from the second half of the nineteenth century to the present and are representative of different social and regional backgrounds, as well as of different facets of hyphenated identity in North America. Reading their works, the author argues, means discovering a significant range of voices and a complex set of cultural issues, that attest to the increasingly rich history and evolution of Italian American literature. This volume also makes available Luigi Palma di Cesnola's important memoir of 1865, Ten Months in Libby Prison.
