Migrant Writers and Urban Space in Italy
This book is about migrants’ lives in urban space, in particular Rome and Milan. At the core of the book is literature as written by migrants, members of a “second generation,” and a filmmaker who defines himself as native. It argues that the narrative authored by migrants, refugees, second generation women, and one “native Italian” perform a reparative reading of Italian spaces in order to engender reparative narratives. Eve Sedgwick wrote about our (now) traditional way of reading based on unveiling and on, mainly, negative affect. We are trained to tear the text apart, dig into it, and uncover the anxieties that define our age. Migrants writers seem to employ both positive and negative affects in defining the past, present, and future of the spaces they inhabit. Their recuperative acts of writing, constitute powerful models of changes in/on place. As they look at Italian exclusionary spaces, they also rewrite them into a present whose transitiveness allows to imagine a process of citizenship and belong constructed from below.
Routledge International Handbook of Migration Studies
The current era is marked by an unparalleled level of human migration, the consequence of both recent and long-term political, economic, cultural, social, demographic and technological developments. Despite increased efforts to limit its size and consequences, migration has wide-ranging impacts upon social, environmental, economic, political, and cultural life in countries of origin and settlement. Such transformations impact not only those who are migrating, but those who are left behind, as well as those who live in the areas where migrants settle. The Handbook of Migration Studies offers a conceptual approach to the study of international migration, exploring clearly the many modes of exi...
Social Networks and Migration
In Far West Nepal - an area extremely impoverished also by Nepalese standards - labour migration to India has been an integral part of the livelihood strategies of the majority of people for several generations. This research is based on case studies among male and female migrants in Delhi coming from four villages of Far West Nepal. The analysis focuses on selected aspects of the migrants' daily lives, such as working and living conditions, management of loans and savings, and remittance transfer. It was found, that the whole migration process is mainly facilitated by transnational kin and friendship networks. To grasp the geographical and social dimensions of the migrant's lives an integra...
Home, Memory and Belonging in Italian Postcolonial Literature
This book examines the meaning of home through the investigation of a series of public and private spaces recurrent in Italian postcolonial literature. The chapters, by respectively considering Termini train station in Rome, phone centres, the condominium, and the private spaces of the bathroom and the bedroom, investigate how migrant characters inhabit those places and turn them into familiar spaces of belonging. Home, Memory and Belonging in Italian Postcolonial Literature suggests “home spaces” as a possible lens to examine these specific places and a series of practices enacted by their inhabitants in order to feel at home. Drawing on a wide array of sources, this book focuses on the role played by memory in creating transnational connections between present and past locations and on how these connections shape migrants’ sense of self and migrants’ identity.

L'emigrazione italiana in un bicchier di vino
Quanti chilometri hanno percorso barbatelle e talee di vitigni italiani al seguito dei migranti? Attraverso le immagini della vite che emigra viene raccontato un pezzo della preziosa storia italiana che ha per protagonisti uomini, donne, anziani e bambini che da semplici contadini si sono trasformati dapprima in esploratori e poi in colonizzatori agricoli. Sperimentando innesti e varietà di vitigni, tecniche tradizionali e innovative, orientamenti astronomici e topografici gli italiani migranti hanno trovato e messo a frutto in varie parti del mondo quei terroir dove è stato possibile realizzare vini specifici immediatamente riconducibili al sapore di “casa” e all’identità nazionale...

Vecchie e nuove emigrazioni
Il presente volume rappresenta un aggiornamento degli studi condotti tra il 2006 e il 2008 per conto della Regione Lazio sul fenomeno dell’emigrazione laziale all’estero. Pur avendo in quell’occasione ricostruito il quadro sinottico regionale dei movimenti migratori dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale, interpretando le dinamiche migratorie come un elemento prodotto dal milieu territoriale in una determinata fase storica, nel volgere di poco meno di un decennio sono sopraggiunti ulteriori cambiamenti, che hanno rappresentato il forte stimolo a riprendere e continuare la ricerca per fornire un quadro dello stato del fenomeno al 2014. The present volume presents an update of a study on transn...
