Lauren Braun-Strumfels challenges existing ideas about the origins of remote control by paying particular attention to two programs supported by the Italian government in the 1890s: a government outpost on Ellis Island called the Office of Labor Information and Protection for Italians, and rural immigrant colonization in the American South--namely a plantation in Arkansas called Sunnyside. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough her examination of these distinct locations, Braun-Strumfels argues that we must consider Italian migration as an essential piece in the history of how the United States became a gatekeeping nation. In particular, she details how an asymmetric partnership emerged between the United States and Italy to manage that migration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn so doing, \u003ci\u003ePartners \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ein Gatekeeping\u003c\/i\u003e reveals that the last ten years of the nineteenth century were critical to the establishment of the modern gatekeeping system. By showing the roles of the Italian programs in this migration system, Braun-Strumfels establishes antecedents for remote control beyond the well-studied Chinese and Mexican cases.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLAUREN BRAUN-STRUMFELS is an associate professor in the history department at Cedar Crest College.
