On the Other Shore The Atlantic Worlds of Italians in South America During the Great War
"Galante has written an interesting and important book that throws new light on the nature of the Italian immigrant world in southern South America."-Joel Horowitz, <i>Italian American Review</i> "This book is an outstanding example of how a well-chosen, specific historical study grounded in archives and primary sources can illuminate multiple geographies, societies, and fields of inquiry."-Mark I. Choate, <i>American Historical Review</i> "John Galante has unquestionably identified and analyzed an intriguing and original subject: the rise and decline of an Italian South Atlantic."-Michael M. Hall, <i>Hispanic American Historical Review</i> "Masterfully sourced images complement the text beautifully, and the accompanying prose is easy to follow. <i>On the Other Shore</i> will appeal to graduate students and scholars alike."-Abril Liberatori, <i>Social History</i> âWar is a key crucible of modern nation states. By focusing on nation and ethnicity during World War I, Galante demonstrates how a distinctive, transnational Italian South Atlantic-the product of a century of migration-extended itself into the twentieth century.â-Donna Gabaccia, professor emerita of history at the University of Toronto âBy examining how global crises impacted Italian immigrants in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and SĂo Paulo, On the Other Shore shows how the world was globalized well before 1930. Galante reminds readers that immigrants have agency, even as imperial states tried to use diasporic communities. Probing migrations, conflicts, and national identities, this is an important contribution to ethnic studies and global studies.â-Jeffrey Lesser, Samuel Candler Dobbs Chair and director of the Halle Institute for Global Research at Emory University â<i>On the Other Shore</i> stands out for its ambitious comparative design and the careful mining of various sources published in Italy and in South America by institutions in the Italian diaspora and the Italian government. It will make an important scholarly contribution.â-Marcelo J. Borges, author of <i>Chains of Gold: Portuguese Migration to Argentina in Transatlantic Perspec</i>
On the Other Shore demonstrates patterns of social cohesion and division within the Italian communities of South America; reconstructs varying transatlantic and inter-American networks of interaction, exchange, and mobility in an âItalian Atlanticâ; interrogates how authorities in Italy viewed their South American âcoloniesâ; and uncovers ways that Italians in Latin America balanced and blended relationships and loyalties to their countries of residence and origin. On the Other Shoreâs position at the intersection of Latin American history, Atlantic history, and the histories of World War I and Italian immigration thereby engages with and informs each of these subject areas in distinctive ways.
