Bruna, her mother, and her father, John, immigrated to America in 1930 from their native village of Faller in the Veneto region of northern Italy.\u003cbr\u003eNot just made up of the recorded texts, this book is also built on the reminiscences of that storyteller and some of her old neighbors in her birthplace, and is a record by two resourceful fieldworkers of what it takes to study memory culture. The result is a work that greatly enriches our understanding of who told (and tells) m舐chen to whom, why and how they are told, and, perhaps most important, under what conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Mathias, Richard Raspa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814321224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814321225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"Elizabeth Mathias","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059836023039,"sku":"9780814321225","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59affa5e-03e1-4a79-8981-577edb354cf9.jpg?v=1685060603","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/italian-folktales-in-america-elizabeth-mathias-9780814321225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
