Publisher's Synopsis
Interviews with fifteen Italian-Quebecois artists, spanning three generations, including interviews with first-, second-, and third-generation Italian-Canadians-painters, writers, and musicians-all of whom in some overt way address issues of transculturation or cultural hybridity in their work. This book explores both the specific circumstances of these fifteen artistic lives, the historical and contemporary ramifications of Italian immigration to Quebec, and more theoretical issues of art, ethnicity, and cross-cultural experience.
