Writing With An Accent

Edvige Giunta is Associate Professor of English at New Jersey City University. She and Louise DeSalvo are the coeditors for the upcoming The Milk of Almonds, an anthology on Italian American women writing about food.

"I ve hungered for a book like this! Edi Giunta may have written specifically about Italian American women writers but I ve found it to be universal in many, many illuminating ways." - Nancy Savoca, filmmaker "In language that is as lyrical as it is lucid, Edvige Giunta infuses new meaning into the voicing of accents, moving beyond shame and difference into power and presence for Italian American women writers and for us all." - Janet Zandy, Rochester Institute of Technology "In an Italian-accented voice that is no less friendly than it is forthright, Edvige Giunta has much to talk about... Correcting cultural misconceptions is central to her work." - The New York Times Writing with an Accent makes a strong case that the Italian American community has much to thank its women artists for. -Women's Review of Books
