Italy's Many Diasporas (Global Diasporas (Univ of Washington Paperback)) Book

Italy's residents are a migratory people. Since 1800 well over 27 million left home, but over half also returned home again.

It explores their complex yet distinctive identity and their relationship with their homeland taking a comprehensive approach.Read More
