The Crucible of Culture: Ethnicity and the Second Generation Italian-Canadian Woman in Toronto Master of Arts 1997 Elena Piezzo History and Philosophy Graduate Department of Education University of Toronto This essay examines the nature and persistence of ethnicity among a group of university educated. second generation Italian Canadian women. It explores those factors, both external and internai. that contribute to the formation and maintenance of their ethnic identity. While no two women had identicai expenences or views. as a whole they feel at odds with the duality of cultures they are forced to balance because they lack a sense of belonging to either their native community or their ethnic community. Those of the second generation have no definable place as they are not immigrants, and they do not feel themselves Canadian beyond their legal citizenship. As ltalian Canadian women. they are reduced to mythological constructs of society's imagination. Ultimately. they are labelled "typical Italian women". indicatins both a feeble attempt at understanding and conternpt for a "foreign" çroup. The "crucible". both a meltinç pot for metal. and a trial. is a metaphor for the Italian Canadian woman expected to assirnilate into one culture or another. Unable to assimilate she faces judgement and condemnation to a social role she may not otherwise have chosen. Chapter One explores the relationship between art and literature of the ethnic community and their perceived identity. Chapter two examines the creation of an ltalian community in Toronto and the impact of social, geographic and economic forces on the ethnicization of the second generation. Chapter three discusses the Italian immigrant rnother and her relationship with her Canadian bom daughter. Chapter four presents the results of the inte~ewsconducted wiih second seneration women.

Table of Contents Introduction Chapter One: ldentity and lntellectualism C hapter Two : Postwar Toronto Italians and the Process of Et hnicizat ion Chapter Three: The Italian Mother Chapter Four: The "Typical" Italian-Canadian Woman and Man Conclusion Epilogue Endnotes Bibliogaphy INTRODUCTION For the most part, Italian immigration to Canada is considered from a masculine mindset. Males lefi their homes as sojoumers, or as permanent settlers to establish a life in North Amen'ca. They were humbled, exploited, resourcefùl and at times. even rebellious. In al1 of this there is an underlying presumption that fernales were subordinate, and not real actors in the decision to immigrate. They were summoned, called over, to join their husbands who had already finished the work of establishing a home. They were the last fixtures on the immigrant stage. However, women were often leading actors in the process of immigration. Once settlernent was established, it was immigrant women who were entnisted with giving life to the existence their spouses had etched out of Canada. They were the primary agents of socialization in the home, ofien linking economic su~valwith a veritable social existence. They were also forced to contend with narrow personas created for them in the drama of immigration. Cast as subrnissive beings, trapped in traditions, and denied access to the language and culture of the new world, they were charactenzed by stereotypical preconceptions of the immigrant, set against the backdrop of an anglophone world. This stereotypical view becarne projected ont0 subsequent generations-giving rise to the "typical Italian woman", a stock character of sorts with exaggerated, traditionai mannerisms and antiquated beliefs. For second generation Italian-Canadian women seeking to gain meaningfùl ownership or partnership in Canadian society, this typecast has served to rnarginalize them both by gender and culture. They have found thernselves waging a conscious battle against the image of the "typical Italian woman" on two battlefields: one controlled by the anglophone, host society and the other, on the "no man's land of the Mo-Canadian society. This study seeks to explore the impact that immigration and ethnicization has had on Canadian-bom daughters of Italian parents. While for the first generation the immigrant expenence is characterized by the struggle for economic survival and CO-dependencyon fellow immigrants, for their children, immigration meant reconciling the duality of cultures in which they were raised. The choices these women made were shaped both by their family's concepts of the host society and the host society's concept of immigrant daughters. For sons and daughters their experiences were markedly direrent. For wornen, being part of the Italian community was characterized primarily by a struggle for social power. This essay will examine ethnicization and identity arnong second generation Italian- Canadian women in four parts: first, an analysis of their self-expression in language, art, and Iiterature; second, an examination of the factors which caused the establishment of an Italian immigrant community in Toronto; third, an examination of immigrant women, or the mothers of the women studied; fourth, an examination of the socialization and acculturation of second seneration Italian-Canadian women and, an analysis of their self-perception as Italian-Canadian women. or identity, as reflected in mamage, education and careers. Finally, there will be a bief comparison to their male counterparts. Who is an Italian-Canadian? This is not easily answered. In the case of Italian-Canadians. where cultural duality is clearly prevaient, one cannot simply ask, do you feel part of this group or that group, and expect to receive a definitive answer. Self-identification involves a significant pattern of cultural penistence and identity. Social trends in the ltalian community continue to show the tenacity of Itaiiat~itain Toronto, a p henomenon that has outlived waves of Itdian immigration. Moreover, Toronto has seen the rearing of a second, and now a third generation of Itaiian-Canadians who differ significantly fiom their immigrant parents, yet still resonate their parents' immigrant experiences. It is the intent of this audy to examine second generation Italian- Canadian wornen based on an informal sample of oral intewiews and observations.' It will explore the nature of ethnicity among these second generation Italian-Canadian women between the ages of 25-40 who are university educated and raised in Toronto. Its conclusions are not so much definit ive as tentative and speculative. Italian-Canadian women wage a constant battle for ernpowerrnent and equity in the social and professional world. Not only must they prove their cornpetence, but they must also disprove ethnic stereotypes. At the same time they must balance the duality of cultures in the perpetuation of ItaIimiità. Complete enfranchisement in the socio-political Canadian structure requires being viewed as a Canadian. One cannot become an actor in the Canadian community if one is not viewed as a Canadian. Deliberately, this study focuses on university educated women, who have inevitably been exposed to universal notions of "Canadianess". Yet, as children of immigrants, they are still not completely Canadian. Effectively, Canadianess cornes in degrees. There are different types of Canadians, and they are not equal; an implied ethnic inferiority is pervasive. Ethnicization created a classification scheme for immigrant groups that makes them intelligible and socially manageable for outsiders. The label "typical", when placed as an adjective in front of the noun Italian signals not only the stereotyping of the Italians, but a mythological ascription. In an interview, one

  • Cultural Considerations in the Delivery of Homecare Services
    Cultural Considerations in the Delivery of Homecare Services: "Beyond 2 kitchens and a disability/ più di due cucine e disabilità". by (Hedy) Anna Walsh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work University of Toronto © Copyright by (Hedy) Anna Walsh (2014) Cultural Considerations in the Delivery of Homecare Services: "Beyond 2 kitchens and a disability/ più di due cucine e disabilità". Doctor of Philosophy (Hedy) Anna Walsh Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This study explored the experiences, interpretations and cultural beliefs of older Italian immigrants who were receiving culturally specific formal homecare services through an assisted living facility in Ontario, to examine how their identity and life history influenced their experiences of receiving care. The current study builds on the existing body of knowledge about Canada's older Italian immigrants, in particular their caregiving traditions and current need for formal care. This research study employed phenomenology to explore the subjective experiences of Canadian Italian older immigrants who were receiving formal homecare services to capture the personal meanings and interpretations of their immigration experiences, as they related to their need for formal homecare services. Interviews were conducted with 25 older Italian immigrants over the age of 75 that were receiving culturally specific homecare services. The participants shared their immigration stories, fears, work history, healthcare challenges and descriptions of arrival, family, losses, and life in Canada. The Life Course Framework was selected to guide this research study, to represent the process of aging and human development that ii continuously occurs across the life span.

  • Slavic and Italian Canadian Attitudes Towards Authority

PUB DATE Apr 73 NOTE 14p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the International Communication Association (Montreal, April 25-29, 1973);1 See ED 072 480 for a related document EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Anxiety; *Attitudes; College Students; Communication (Thought Transfer); *Cross Cultural Studies; Cultural Differences; *Cultural Interrelationships; Hostility; Intergroup Relations; *Power Structure; Social Influences IDENTIFIERS Canada; Italian Canadians; Slavic Canadians ABSTRACT Predicting that Italian Canadians would hold attitudes of greater hostility and anxiety toward authority than Slavic Canadians, this study, using 58 part-time summer students (29 Italians and 29 Slays) at three universities in Canada, analyzed the subjects, responses to the five-response option Likert type scale. Results confirmed the early predictions. When compared to the attitudinal positions of French and English Canadians on the same scale, the results revealed that Italian Canadians shared with the French Canadian majority in Quebec a high level of hostility toward authority, while the Slavic Canadians shared with English Canadians, the majority Canadian language group, a low level of hostility toward authority. It was also noted that Italian Canadians shared with English Canadians high scores on attitudes of anxiety toward authroity.

  • Exploring Canzone Napoletana and Southern Italian Migration Through Three Lenses
    Exploring Canzone Napoletana and Southern Italian Migration Through Three Lenses John L. Vitale Preamble and Purpose As a first-generation Italian-Canadian, the southern Italian immigrant experience has figured centrally in my upbringing. I have vivid memories of the rich and vibrant conversations that transpired at the dinner table every day. There were countless tales of my parents’ childhood, which included living in impoverished conditions and surviving the devastation of the Second World War. Other common topics of conversation included crossing the Atlantic, being separated from family, and the daily struggles of immigrating to an English-speaking country. At the very core of these conversations, however, was music, particularly the form of popular song that emanated out of Naples in the 19th and 20th centuries, otherwise known as the canzone napoletana. These songs of love, laughter, sorrow, and pain—famous the world over— have always been a genuine and sincere portal into the heart, mind, and soul of the southern Italian immigrant experience in Canada. The purpose of this article is threefold. First, through a biographical lens, this article investigates my own personal experiences as a first-generation Italian-Canadian and explores how post-World War II southern Italian immigrants in Toronto, Canada used the canzone napoletana as a coping mechanism for the daily hardships and struggles of immigrant life. Second, through the lens of the Italian Diaspora, this article investigates how Neapolitan song became the metaphorical voice for the vast majority of southern Italian immigrants around the world. Lastly, through the lens of non-Italians, this article examines how the canzone napoletana influenced non-Italian perceptions about Italy on a global scale.

  • Representations of Race and Italian-Ness in Canada's Printed Media Kr
    CAN ITALIAN-CANADIANS HAVE THEIR CANNOLI AND EAT IT TOO? REPRESENTATIONS OF RACE AND ITALIAN-NESS IN CANADA’S PRINTED MEDIA KRYSTA PANDOLFI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN EDUCATION YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO March 2018 © Krysta Pandolfi, 2018 Abstract In 2009, Dina Pugliese, co-host of a popular daily television show in Toronto, stated in an interview that she was hesitant to pursue an on-camera career because she worried that she was “too spicy-Italian.” Her words speak to long-standing stereotypes of Italians, developed out of eighteenth and nineteenth century representations of Italy. Clearly, hers is not an identity that has been uncomplicatedly subsumed into Whiteness. Stereotypes borrowed from Europe mark Italian-Canadians, who mostly come from Southern Italy, and who were seen (both inside and outside of Europe) as ‘swarthy’, ‘hot-blooded’ and ‘short-tempered.’ In this dissertation, I examine the concept of Italian-ness in two culturally specific Italian- Canadian magazines, Panoram Italia and Accenti. Thematic data was collected to explore how the magazines construct the image of the Italian-Canadian in their editorial discourses and how this discourse analysis may serve to reveal existing racialized power relations. I identify parallels between Italy as Europe’s south and the Italian-Canadian community, and the ways they serve to function as a filter to understanding Italian-Canadian migration and ongoing concepts of difference within Canada. Furthermore, I explore how the magazine editorial discourses strove to define the interplay between Italian-ness within Canada’s ethno-racial categorizations.

  • ABSTRACT Italian Canadian Women
    ABSTRACT Italian Canadian women "crossing the border" to graduate education BY Josephine Mazzuca Ph.D Dissertation Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto 2000 This dissertation examines the educational experiences ofwomen in graduate education whose parents are Italian immigrants. Data are collected through in-depth interviews with Italian Canadian women about schooling, family, ethnicity and relationships. The women's experiences are discussed in the interconnected contexts of the Italian immigrant experience, the education system, and, in particular, graduate education. Although Italian immigrants and their descendants form one of the largest ethnic groups in Canada, their participation in the educational system has gone largely undocumented except as part of large studies on various ethnic groups in the Metropolitan area. The second generation of Italian Canadians has been educated in the Canadian system and raised by immigrant parents who have had little experience with this system. Using qualitative methods, this study examines the educational experiences of Italian-Canadian women. The women are graduate students who were born and educated in Canada and whose parents immigrated to Canada in the post World War Two period. Being raised in an immigrant home has influenced the women's encounters with education and the decisions they have made. Issues of resistance and assimiletion are considered in this study. Findings from this research include the discovery of four roles which the women adopt in order to "survive" graduate school. The women develop these roles in order to find ways to approach their graduate work while maintaining the important relationships in their personal lives.
