Within the context of a series of volumes devoted to the history of the Italian culture, this long essay describes the transition of Italy from a country of emigration to a country of immigration; the demographic, economic, cultural and socio-political impact of immigrants’ presence; the attitudes of Italians and of Italian government and institutions toward the migration phenomena. On the basis of a rich set of studies and empirical researches the Author develops an original analysis of these processes, demonstrating how migration functions as a “mirror” in reflecting the main characters of the Italian society and of the Italian institutional context and evidencing the most critical elements for the future of the interethnic society.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
