Abstract | Full Text
This interview with Laura E. Ruberto (Berkeley City College) and Joseph Sciorra (Queens College) offers a cultural approach to migration by taking into consideration the full range of Italian migrations to the United States from the late nineteenth century to the twentieth-first century. The two scholars discuss their thoughts on material culture and various forms of cultural expression by focusing on the social and historical dynamics of aesthetic practices. Ever attentive to transnational dimensions as well as hybridic formations, Ruberto and Sciorra reveal how identity and ethnicity are reconfigured.
