The idea of rites of passage-with its elements of preparation, departure, transit, admission, exclusion, expulsion, and return-helps us understand these moments in the process of migration in new and meaningful ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRituals of Migration\u003c\/i\u003e offers snapshots of Italian and Irish migrants on the move from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. The essays in this volume examine the particular moments, actions, sentiments, and material objects in the process of migration-at the point of departure, in transit, and in the process of return. Because rites and rituals feature both nonverbal and verbal expression, migration history can be understood by studying physical objects as well as written sources. The authors focus on rituals created by migrants and their descendants, but they also consider the actions of officials who regulated migrants' departure, travel, admission, exclusion, and removal. By examining what people did, thought, felt, and packed on the eve of their departures, during their journeys, and when returning to their homelands, \u003ci\u003eRituals of Migration\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how everyone involved in the immigration process, including the migrants themselves, the families they left behind, and those in charge of regulating their mobility, have tried to make sense of a process filled with peril, uncertainty, excitement, and opportunity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKevin Kenny (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eKevin Kenny\u003c\/b\u003e is Glucksman Professor of History and Director of Glucksman Ireland House at NYU and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Problem of Immigration in a Slaveholding Republic: Policing Mobility in the Nineteenth-Century United States\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaddelena Marinari (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMaddalena Marinari\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of History at Gustavus Adolphus College and the author of \u003ci\u003eUnwanted: Italian and Jewish Mobilization Against Restrictive Immigration Laws, 1882-1965.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 17, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978331128109,"sku":"9781479825134","price":48.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/1ia_SyY2La9781479825134.webp?v=1775801702","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/rituals-of-migration-italians-and-irish-on-the-move-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
