Italy to Argentina
Tullio Pagano's new book, Italy to Argentina: Travel Writing and Emigrant Colonialism offers a detailed overview of a wide variety of texts about Italian emigration to South America between the immediate aftermath of national unification in the 1860s and Italy's conquest of Libya in 1911, which fulfilled Italian nationalists’ dream of a territory directly under Italian jurisdiction to receive the country's surplus labor force. The texts range fro…
“Io son venuto in America per cercar mia madre”
In 1884, Edmondo De Amicis joined a group of over 1,500 emigrants travelling from Genoa to Buenos Aires on the ship Nord America. Based on the transoceanic crossing and the two months he spent in Argentina, De Amicis produced several texts: a long account of the transatlantic journey, Sull’Oceano, published in 1889; a short story, “Dagli Appennini alle Ande,” included in his 1886 best-seller, Cuore; and a lecture, “I nostri contadini in America,”…
Susan K. Harris. God’s Arbiters
God’s Arbiters examines the centrality of religious rhetoric in the debates over the annexation of the Philippines that took place during the Spanish-American War of 1898 and its aftermath. Specifically, Americans conceived of their nation as having a divine mandate to model and defend freedom in the rest of the world. Harris shows that expansionists and anti-expansionists alike shared the vision of the United States as divinely ordained to a glo…

Caroline Frank, Objectifying China, Imagining America
In her Objectifying China, Imagining America, Caroline Frank argues that British North America was involved in the China trade well before independence and she goes on to explore the significance of the quest for and consumption of Chinese commodities to the political identity of the colonies on the verge of the Revolutionary War. The book is excitingly new on several fronts. While previous scholars date Anglo America’s commercial engagement with…
Dennis Berthold, American Risorgimento
In his new book, American Risorgimento: Herman Melville and the Cultural Politics of Italy, Dennis Berthold shows how Italy’s political transformation from a collection of small states controlled by foreign powers in the 1840s into a unified, independent nation by 1871 was central to Melville’s writing. Melville clearly saw the parallel between Italy’s struggle for freedom from foreign domination and drive for unification and, on the other hand, …
