Reviews

Enrico Dal Lago, National University of Ireland Galway:

"Codignola’s case studies are compelling, and the enormous extent of the research that went into his work is testified by the 160 pages of endnotes […] There is no doubt that his work is an important contribution to the study of Italian-North American relations and more generally to the study of transnational links across the Atlantic and into the Mediterranean between the mid-eighteenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries."

Donna Gabaccia, Department of Historical and Cultural Studies, University of Toronto, Scarborough:

"In examining the mobility of ideas, trade, and Catholic networks, Blurred Nationalities across the North Atlantic convincingly reveals the significant impact of merchants, missionaries, priests, and lay travellers from both North America and Italy, while connecting them to enlightenment ideals. It is a model of the kind of research any historian might wish to teach advanced students."

Matteo Sanfilippo, Dipartimento di Scienze Umane e della Comunicazione, Università degli Studi della Tuscia:

"Blurred Nationalities across the North Atlantic represents a historical ‘cross-over,’ where the history of Italy, Italian migration, Catholicism, and colonial North America are questioned simultaneously. In this way, Luca Codignola answers many questions, including why Italians migrated to North America, how they were accepted, and what kind of relationship was linking Italy to North America. Codignola has written a very important contribution to the study of transatlantic history between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries."
