Studi Emigrazione – settembre -1991 – n.103
The idea of organizing an Advanced Seminar in North American History on “Religion and Ethnicity in the United States and Canada” carne to Giovanni Pizzorusso, Matteo Sanfilippo and myself, as we realized that, while working on the “religious” side of North American history, we were constantly faced by the category of “ethnicity”, at least from the last two decades of the eighteenth century. For her part, Maria Susanna Garroni, who had unti! then mainly worked on “ethnicity”, had come to the same conclusion from the apposite side. As we were ali based on the European side of the Atlantic Ocean, however, it seemed to us that often Canadian historians, and even more so American historians, tended to limit themselves to the experiences of their respective countries, and had few opportunities to compare their experiences.
