LITERARY AND SOCIAL DIASPORAS KARTONIERT (TB)

This volume seeks to map an understanding of the Italian experience onto the broader picture of
diasporic stories  though with an anchor in the Australian-Italian experience. It brings
together key essays and testimonials that frame a picture of Italy's rich legacy at «home»  in
Europe more widely  and in the (post)colonial sphere  with a particular emphasis on the
Australian experience. The essays collected here focus on the way an Italian Australian story
has emerged and evolved in its own unique way. In some respects it might be possible to define
Australia  through this community  as an Italian space  very much inscribed and described by
the many voices that characterise it. What is clear throughout these pages is that past 
present and future circulate through and around each other  just as notions of nation -
colonial  postcolonial  emigrant and immigrant - jostle for purchase in what is in fact a
contested space always under negotiation.
