Title
Constructing Italian Ethnicity: A Comparative Study of Two Italian Language Newspapers in Australia and Canada, 1947-1957
Abstract
An examination of how an ethnic group defines itself through the medium of the press. Examined are two newspapers: Montreal’s Il Cittadino Canadese and Sydney’s La Fiamma. The Australian newspaper used religion to promote Italian ethnic cohesiveness in Sydney, while the Montreal newspaper made the issue of Italian political representation in government structures the basis of its quest to unite Italian migrants into an ethnic community.
