However, in the past few decades, Italy has indeed become a destination for many people from poor or war-torn countries seeking a better life in a stable environment. Graziella Parati's \u003ci\u003eMigration Italy\u003c\/i\u003e examines immigration to Italy in the past twenty years, and explores the processes of cultural hybridization that have occurred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking from a cultural studies viewpoint, Parati constructs a theoretical framework for discussing Italy as a country of immigration. She gives special attention to immigrant literature, positing that it functions as an act of resistance, a means to talk back to the laws that regulate the lives of migrants. Parati also examines Italian cinema, demonstrating how native and non-native filmmakers alike create parallels between old and new migrations, complicating the definitions of sameness and difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese definitions and the complexities inherent in the different cultural, legal, and political positions of Italy's people are at the heart of \u003ci\u003eMigration Italy\u003c\/i\u003e, a unique work of immense importance for understanding society in both modern-day Italy and, indeed, the entire European continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56000654934390,"sku":"9781442626720","price":21.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_35549319.jpg?v=1753948836","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781442626720-migration-italy","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
