She writes on gender and women’s history, historical ethnology, and modern ethnic studies and has authored La Religion du Quotidien: Rites et croyances populaires de la fin du Moyen Age (Firenze, 1995). Her work in Italian American Studies includes “Creolizing the Lack: Interpreting Race and Racism in Italian America,” in Jerome Krase’s The Status of Interpretation in Italian American Studies (Forum Italicum, 2011). Her two current projects focus on the (in)visibility of women of Italian descent in U.S. culture from the great migrations to World War II, and Italian immigrant artists in the greater New York area from the 1920s to the1940s.
