Abstract

D’ALESSIO, Michela. Manuals and textbooks for Italian migrants’ teachers in the early Twentieth Century. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e121.  Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-121.

In the wake of the first results of studies on the relationship between the alphabet, emigration and teachers, in the transnational circulation of knowledge and reading books, a very promising furrow for historical-educational research concerns the migration policies of the Italian State, especially in the first twenty years of the twentieth century. The contribution devotes additional attention to the segment of texts published for the “all special” preparation - political, cultural and didactic -, of teachers of emigration, in the courses opened for their training (D’ALESSIO, 2019). The article intends to deal with the specific manuals addressed to them - of which the real model is Cabrini’s Il maestro degli emigranti (1912). The texts and books intended to prepare, with the indispensable knowledge and guidelines, those who had to provide adequate instruction to those who were about to leave were intended to encourage the maturation of a specific culture on emigration, among all the teachers in Italy.

Keywords : Italian emigration; Teaching culture; Manuals and textbooks for teachers.
