Informationen zum Autor Teresa Fiore Klappentext Teresa Fiore is Theresa and Lawrence R. Inserra Chair in Italian and Italian American Studies at Montclair State University. Zusammenfassung This book rethinks Italy’s formation and development on a trans-national map through cultural analysis of travel, living and work spaces as depicted in literary, filmic and musical texts. By demonstrating how today’s immigration in Italy is pre-occupied by its past emigration and colonialism, the book stresses commonalities and dispels preoccupations.
