AB In keeping with current theories of migration and acculturation(Berry 1995; Berry and Hou 2016), this article seeks to identifythe different stages of acculturation in relation to the concept of“belonging” outlined by Nira Yuval Davis (2006) in three shortstories written in English by Italian Canadian female authors:Delia de Santis, Caterina Edwards, and Licia Canton. Theseemerging, first generation writers tend to concentrate on thecultural connections between Italy and Canada (Caporale-Bizzini2018), and thus provide a meaningful contribution to both worlds.The varying nature of the protagonists’ bonding with theircountry of origin and that of their settlement will reveal how theserelations affect the performative agency of fictional female Italianimmigrants in Canada.
