Bringing a range of insights from cultural studies, as well as recent theories of autobiography and narrative, to bear on subaltern voices within Italian American literature, Bona (Italian American studies, State U. of New York at Stony Brook) explores how folkloric and postcolonial discourses work to create alternative meanings and spaces to dominant literary and historical expression. Over the course of six chapters, she discusses voices of justice in response to failures of the law to support immigrant Italians, voices of women's faith in resistance to institutionalized Catholicism and in sympathy with Italian folk religious beliefs, the voice of the village ancestor in the novels of Guido D'Agostino, the biographical voice of Rosa Cassettari and the transmission of oral culture, and the folkloric voices of female ancestors in cross-cultural conversation in novels by Italian Americans and African Americans.
