Spatialities in Italian American Womens Literature

Examining the family saga as an instrument of literary analysis of writing by Italian American women, this book argues that the genre represents a key strategy for Italian American female writers as a form which distinctly allows them to establish cultural, gender and literary traditions.

Spaces are inherently marked by the ideology of the societies that create and practice them, and this volume engages with spaces of cultural and gendered identity, particularly those of the mean streets in Italian American fiction, which provide a method of critically analyzing the configurations and representations of identity associated with the Italian American community. Key authors examined include Julia Savarese, Marion Benasutti, Tina De Rosa, Helen Barolini, Melania Mazzucco and Laurie Fabiano.

This book is suitable for students and scholars in Literature, Italian Studies, Cultural Studies and Gender Studies.

Eva Pelayo Saudo has a PhD in Gender and Diversity from the University of Oviedo, Spain. Her fields of research are Italian American literature, gender, diaspora, and urban and postcolonial studies. She completed her PhD in July 2017, with a thesis entitled Genre, Gender and Space: Family Sagas and Streets in the Italian/American Experience, for which she received the 2017 Prize of the Italian American Studies Association: the IASA Memorial Fellowship Distinction of Outstanding PhD Dissertation. She has conducted research at the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute (Queens College, NY), the University of Calabria (Italy) and Stony Brook University (NY), and participated in international conferences in the USA, Italy and Slovakia.

This book derives from the research conducted during my PhD dissertation at the University of Oviedo. Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisors Dr Isabel Carrera Surez and Dr Carla Rodrguez Gonzlez for all their extraordinary academic support and unconditional help. They have been exceptional in their guidance and insights, which are of great value for my future as a scholar, and have been the best models because of their brilliance as professionals and as women.

I equally thank all the welcoming experts in my field who helped and encouraged my research: Fred Gardaphe, who immediately answered to my first email when I needed it the most and eagerly listened to my ideas and provided inestimable guidance and support, as well as introduced me to countless authors and scholars. Anthony J. Tamburri, Joseph Sciorra and all the people at the Calandra Italian American Institute, where I greatly enjoyed to work. Martino Marazzi, who was always available to support my work and treated me with great affection. Margherita Ganeri, who is incredibly delightful to listen to and helped me more than I could expect. Peter Carravetta, one of the most remarkable people I have met and whom I will miss. Mary Jo Bona, Laurie Fabiano and Louisa Ermelino, who kindly accepted to be interviewed for my research.

I am indebted to FICYT for their funding both my PhD program and the research stays that made possible this book. I am also immensely grateful for the work done by the Routledge scholars, copyeditors and project manager (Alexandra, Eleanor, Helen and Yassar) for their patience and exceptional guidance in reviewing and improving the initial manuscript. I finally thank the editors of Miscelanea: A Journal of English and American Studies and Complutense Journal of English Studies for having generously granted permission to reprint some sections of the second and third chapters.

I am especially grateful for the good friends I made in the United States and Italy, Kasia, Gabriela, Carla, Bongi and Jennifer, and those who have always stayed closest in the difficult times and showed great patience: Estela, Ana Montes and Mary, the wonderful Andrea F. and Mnica.

I cannot thank enough my family, which is the basis of my life and whom I owe all my accomplishments and joy.
