Reviews
“Michela Baldo maps out the theoretical questions posed by diaspora studies in a rich and compelling way. … This volume is also a useful overview of the themes and issues that are still unresolved within the field of ‘Italian-Canadian writing.’ … Surely, the merit of Michaela Baldo’s work is to demonstrate how the narratological inquiry– here operating meticulously – should go hand in hand with a broader cultural examination.” (Marco Gatto, ACCENTi, accenti.ca, January 11, 2020)
“Baldo’s latest volume is a welcome addition to the field of Italian-Canadian studies, a work that will certainly interest scholars in the area, as well as anyone interested in cultural translation or working with hyphenated literatures around the world.” (Tiziana Nannavecchia, Italian Canadiana, Vol. 33, 2019)
