Italian-Canadian Narratives Showcase
The material presented in the Italian-Canadian Narratives Showcase comes from public and private archives, university students’ work, local Italian-Canadian clubs and associations. The projects showcase the history and the role of Italian migrants in Canada from the late 19th century to the present.
Featured Project
While ethnographic studies and historical accounts of Italian-Canadian exist, there is not much available that provides insight into the domestic sphere of Italian immigrant homes and still less about the perspectives of women and mothers.
The perspective of Italian immigrant women and mothers is a complex and yet shared experience that remains largely unexplored in sufficient depth.
