Visiting La Madre Patria: Heritage Pilgrimage Among Montreal Italians
|
| Abstract |
The author focuses on visits to Italy undertaken by young Montreal Italians. She divides these trips into three separate categories: the school trip, the extended stay, and the family visit. These trips allowed her informants to access Italy on three different levels. The school trip gives them the opportunity to experience the touristic elements of Italy, while the extended stay allows them to understand the realities of living in Italy. The family visit gives them a chance to trace their family history and experience their parents' hometowns. The author argues that these trips and the narratives that accompany them become identity markers for these Montreal Italians as well as a way for them to shape their cultural awareness.
