Jennifer Guglielmo is a writer, historian and associate professor at Smith College, specializing in the histories of labor, race, women, im/migration, transnational cultures and activisms, and revolutionary social movements in the modern United States.
She has published on a range of topics, including working-class feminisms, anarchism, whiteness and the Italian diaspora.
Guglielmo is the author of the award-winning book Living the Revolution: Italian Women's Resistance and Radicalism in New York City, 1880-1945 (2010) and co-editor (with Salvatore Salerno) of Are Italians White? How Race Is Made in America (2003).
The book was translated into Italian in 2006: Gli Italiani Sono Bianchi? Come l' America ha costruito la razza..
She is currently translating short essays written in Italian by immigrant women anarchists—such as Maria Roda and Virgilia D'Andrea—in early twentieth-century New York City and northeastern New Jersey.
These will be reprinted in her next book, My Rebellious Heart: Immigrant Women's Anarchist Feminist Prose in New York City's Radical Subculture, 1890-1930.
Guglielmo is also currently engaged in a grant-funded, collaborative, community-based public history/digital humanities project with the National Domestic Workers Alliance.
Together they are developing tools for domestic workers and organizers to access historical knowledge and archival evidence and use history as an organizing tool.
