Abstract

F. G. Paci, an Italian-Canadian novelist is recognized for his contribution in creation of Italian-Canadian Literature phenomenon. Through his novels he has presented and described Italian immigrant families in Canada. His novels talk about struggle of Italian immigrant families in Canada. The character of Assunta in F. G. Paci’s Black Madonna reflects the same feeling of insecurity out of which she feels alienated in a new country as well as from her family. Her obstinacy to remain an Italian and follow ethnic culture makes her feel alienated in the family and society.
