Abstract
Remembering is crucial to the formation of collective identities, and oral histories, as repositories of collective memory, play a fundamental role in shaping the identities of migrant communities. In what way, then, do memories influence the construction of a diasporic identity? And what constitutes memory? Those questions define the goals of Remembering Italian America: to examine the role of memory in the process of identity formation in Italian American communities and to interrogate its relevance to other diasporic communities and debates about immigration.
