Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ethnic literature figures prominently in the current debate on multiculturalism, but even its supporters have had little to say about it as literature, stressing instead its political and sociological context. Thomas J. Ferraro, in this lively and accessible study of modern fiction by Americans of immigrant background, argues that the best of these stories demand--and reward--close reading and attention to questions of genre and literary form. Ferraro engages the literature of immigration and mobility by asking what motivates its authors and what their work actually accomplishes. He concentrates on five diverse examples of the 'up-from-the-ghetto' narrative: Mario Puzo's 'The Godfather,' Anzia Yezierska's 'Bread Givers,' Henry Roth's' Call It Sleep,' Henry Miller's 'The Tailor Shop,' and Maxine Hong Kingston's 'The Woman Warrior.' To Ferraro the unsuspected value of these works is that they recast the conventions of ethnic representation, illustrating the power of ethnic writing to capture and redirect the national literary imagination. Ferraro's sharply observed reading of these five works shows how such reenactments of immigrant mobility test the ideology of assimilation against the writer's experience. 'Ethnic Passages 'will refocus discussion of how literature addresses the American conflict between ethnic heritage and the greater opportunities of 'mainstream' society.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 2006 American Book Award, presented by the Before Columbus Foundation Southern Italian emigration to the United States peaked a full century ago-;descendents are now fourth and fifth generation, dispersed from their old industrial neighborhoods, professionalized, and fully integrated into the 'melting pot.' Surely the social historians are right: Italian Americans are fading into the twilight of their ethnicity. So, why is the American imagination enthralled by The Sopranos, and other portraits of Italian-ness Italian American identity, now a mix of history and fantasy, flesh-and-bone people and all-too-familiar caricature, still has something to teach us, including why each of us, as citizens of the U.S. twentieth century and its persisting cultures, are to some extent already Italian. Contending that the media has become the primary vehicle of Italian sensibilities, Ferraro explores a series of books, movies, paintings, and records in ten dramatic vignettes. Featured cultural artifacts run the gamut, from the paintings of Joseph Stella and the music of Frank Sinatra to The Godfather's enduring popularity and Madonna's Italian background. In a prose style as vivid as his subjects, Ferraro fashions a sardonic love song to the art and iconography of Italian America. …
