Dr. Albert Schmid President of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees According to the United Nations, about 200 million people of the estimated world population of 6.8 billion are international migrants – that corresponds to about three per cent of the total world population. The proportion of international migrants in the global population has increased only marginally in the last 40 years. But, as a result of global population growth, the absolute number of migrants has increased, and their structure and spatial distribution has changed considerably. A structural shift has taken place primarily in the industrialised countries, where less than 20 per cent of the global workers are...
Most studies of immigration to the New World have focused on the United States. Samuel L. Baily's eagerly awaited book broadens that perspective through a comparative analysis of Italian immigrants to Buenos Aires and New York City before World War I. It is one of the few works to trace Italians from their villages of origin to different destinations abroad. Baily examines the adjustment of Italians in the two cities, comparing such factors as employment opportunities, skill levels, pace of migration, degree of prejudice, and development of the Italian community. Of the two destinations, Buenos Aires offered Italians more extensive opportunities, and those who elected to move there tended to...
Las dictaduras de la segunda mitad del siglo XX coexistieron con procesos de expansión y consolidación de la televisión. Los Estados autoritarios conjugaron de maneras complejas los objetivos de un orden político basado en principios de jerarquía, tradicionalismo y paternalismo autoritario con un modelo de entretenimiento de masas que tensionaba esos valores.

Este y otros p...

Una sfida: presentare, ad una platea vasta di amanti dell'Italia, il “respiro” in affanno di un Paese in bilico tra baratro e salvezza. Affratellati nel tentativo, forse vano, di ritrovare la melodia, le sfumature, le essenze, gli acuti e gli assoli della poesia di un Paese, alcuni amici si sono trovati assieme, nell'“impresa”, tanto affascinante quanto dolorosa, alla ricerca del respiro italiano, forse un anelito di speranza, o forse il rantolo di una immensa bellezza, reincarnata, chissà, nella “parola” di pochi “pellegrini” innamorati di luoghi del pensiero e della pietra, dispersi nella vertigine del Paese Italia. Sono esplose mai assopite sensibilità sulla bellezza, su...
