Jennifer Guglielmo is Assistant Professor of History and a member of the American Studies Program. She specializes in U.S. history in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and her research interests include women's cultural and political activisms; diasporic and working-class feminisms; ethnic and race relations; and histories of im/migration, labor, and political radicalism. She is currently completing a book on Italian women, transnational labor radicalism, and working-class feminisms in New York City, 1880-1945 (Gender and American Culture Series, University of North Carolina Press). This project grows out of her dissertation (University of Minnesota, 2003), which was awarded the Organization of American Historians Lerner-Scott Prize for Best Dissertation in U.S. Women's History and the University of Minnesota's Prize for Best Dissertation in the Humanities.
Guglielmo is also co-editor of Are Italians White? How Race Is Made in America (Routledge, 2003), and her essays have been published in a number of anthologies and academic journals. She is currently beginning research for another book on grassroots activism among working-class women in Harlem from the 1930s through the 1950s, and is in the process of recovering and translating essays written by Italian immigrant women anarchists in early twentieth-century urban New York and New Jersey, which will be reprinted in her next book, My Rebellious Heart: Italian Immigrant Women's Anarchist Feminist Prose in New York City's Radical Subculture, 1890-1930.
