«This dissertation considers the ways in which literary and cinematic representations of female agricultural and domestic workers radically call into question dominant narratives about the history of Italy and of Italians in the US.I investigate the points of intersection between class, gender, ethnicity, and race and the alliances formed by subaltern groupsin their effort to resist dominant narratives. I look at a variety of textual representations of women workers in Italy and the US -- in novels, films, songs, recipes, and testimonials. My readings rely on a critical understanding of both Antonio Gramsci's reconfiguration of Marxist categories and of migrationas a category of analysis».
