Mediterranean crossroads

Description:

"Traditionally a country from which millions of people migrated, Italy has only recently become a land of immigration. This anthology dramatically presents these narratives of immigrants' experiences and life stories in the context of an emerging history of contemporary Italophone culture."--BOOK JACKET. "This book offers samples of the literary and cultural production of an innovative group of new Italian-language writers whose autobiographical texts focus on exploring their identities as immigrants in a Western country. This anthology contributes to the ongoing discussions on exile, diaspora, and migration by documenting the unique Italian case."--BOOK JACKET.
