- Summary:
- "When people migrate, they often perform social and cultural rituals along the way. In a series of lively essays on Italian and Irish migrants from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries, the authors of Rituals of Migration examine 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"-- Provided by publisher.
