      abstract = {This provocative collection of essays adds a new dimension  to our understanding of nation-building through its  examination of the role of intimate cultural processes.  First, by exploring the private lives of migrants from  Italy through biography, oral history, and ethnography,  these essays suggest why and how-across  cultures-Italianness has come to be associated with a  particular kind of femininity and supposedly distinctive  elements of domestic life symbolized by long-held  stereotypes of the Italian mother. On a larger scale, while  the editors and contributors share with previous works on  the Italian diaspora a keen interest in the imagining of  nations across national borders, here they refocus our  attention to the significance of the domestic, particularly  the lives of individual men and women, their families, and  the communities they loved-and left behind.},
