Francesca Muccini, associate professor of Italian, has published “Dalle Marche al Mississippi Delta” in Via: Voices in Italian American (Volume 25, Number 1 2014), a leading journal in the field of Italian-American Studies. Going against the common research that focuses especially on the emigration from the South of Italy, Muccini looks at the case of the Marche region (central Italy), from where several families were recruited to work in the Sunnyside Cotton’s plantation near Greenville, Arkansas.
