{"product_id":"forgotten-italians-konrad-eisenbichler-9781487504021","title":"Forgotten Italians: Julian-Dalmatian Writers and Artists in Canada","description":"\u003cp\u003eScholarship on Italian emigration has generally omitted the Julian-Dalmatians, a group of Italians from Istria and Dalmatia, two regions that, in the wake of World War Two, were ceded by Italy to Yugoslavia as part of its war reparations to that country. Though Italians by language culture, and traditions, it seems that this group has been conveniently excised from history. And yet, Julian-Dalmatians constitute an important element in twentieth-century Italian history and represent a unique aspect of both Italian culture and emigration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ground-breaking collection of articles from an international team of scholars opens the discussion on these \"forgotten Italians\" by briefly reviewing the history of their diaspora and then by examining the literary and artistic works they produced as immigrants to Canada. \u003cem\u003eForgotten Italians\u003c\/em\u003e offers new insights into such celebrated authors as Diego Bastianutti, Mario Duliani, Caterina Edwards, and Gianni Angelo Grohovaz, as well as visual artists such as Vittorio Fiorucci and Silvia Pecota. Profoundly marked by the experience of being uprooted and forced into exile, by life in refugee camps, and by the encounter with a new culture, first-generation Julian-Dalmatians in Canada used art and writing to come to terms with their anguished situation and to rediscover their cultural roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Konrad Eisenbichler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487504020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487504021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Konrad Eisenbichler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096924758271,"sku":"9781487504021","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forgotten-italians-konrad-eisenbichler-9781487504021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
