Tenement Talk: Preparing for the Immigration Journey
At the Tenement Museum, we think a lot about how immigrants created new homes for themselves in the United States. But we don’t often discuss what people did before they immigrated, and what they took on the journey. In their new book, Rituals of Migration: Italians and Irish on the Move, historians Kevin Kenny and Maddalena Marinari explore Irish and Italian traditions when leaving their homeland and arriving in the United States. What objects did people bring for protection? How did those left behind mark the occasion of a loved one leaving for the United States? What did people do if they returned to their home country? Join Kenny and Marinari for a panel conversation on the book and its importance for immigration history.
For the in-person program, ticket price includes Kenny and Marinari’s book, Rituals of Migration. After the conversation, enjoy mini-tours, a reception, and a special 25% off your purchase in the Tenement Museum Shop for the evening.
For the virtual program, the authors’ book will be available during the event at a special price of 25% off.
