Abstract
This piece introduces Chiara Mazzucchelli, Anthony Julian Tamburri, and Sabrina Vellucci’s essays on Italian-Americanness, and extracts from Irving L. Child and Harvey Warren Zorbaugh’s sociological studies on marginality and «vice» areas in the US of the early XX century. It frames these distinctive and insightful pieces within the context of identitarian, linguistic, and cultural struggles that make up the archives of Italian migrant communities in the US.In conversation with the five pieces, this introduction aims to inquire into the practices of stigmatisation and reproduction of violence by dominant epistemological and ontological frameworks travelling beyond borders.
