italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Building on its award-winning, immigrant-related literary foundation of <https://www.edizionifarinelli.com/titles.php?title=NON+SOLTANTO+UN+BAULE&ti d=56> NON SOLTANTO UN BAULE: Storie di emigranti italiani , Edizioni Farinelli has now published MIGRAZIONI CONTEMPORANEE: <https://edizionifarinelli.com/titles.php?title=Migrazioni+contemporanee&tid =500> Testi e contesti, a robust 232-page textbook focusing on the current phenomenon of migration to Italy. What makes this textbook unique is its “privileged perspective on migration, assimilation, acculturation and, ultimately, a more accurate picture of Italy in the new millennium,” says Dr. Fulvio Orsitto, Director of Georgetown University’s Villa Le Balze Study Center in Florence. He adds, “In this textbook, the present-day interaction between ‘Italianness’ and ‘otherness’ is made accessible, explored in depth through a mosaic of lively authorial voices. Readings are introduced, contextualized and made even more relevant by interviews with writers.” Migrazioni contemporanee features literature and in-depth interviews with both well-known and lesser known migrant writers including Christiana De Caldas Brito, Ubax Christina Ali Farah, Gabriella Ghermandi, Gëzim Hajdari, Kossi Kombla-Ebri, Ron Kubati, Amara Lakhous, Salah Methnani, Ingy Mubiayi, Igiaba Scego and Laila Wadia. Their voice represents the migration experience from the 1990s to the present. This new textbook offers guided analysis of these literary texts as well as study of their cultural context, thus offering a multifaceted perspective on the new in-migration phenomenon. The textbook can be used for semester and quarter-long courses in universities as well as senior classes in high schools including honors Italian and Italian AP. “Well-researched, informative and amazingly current!,” says Tiziana Serafini, Visiting Special Professional Faculty, University of Notre Dame. She adds, it is much more than a textbook: it is a work that gets to the heart of contemporary issues of im/migration to Italy while engaging students in literary, anthropological and historical analysis.“ Migrazioni contemporanee was developed by Giusy Di Filippo and Martina Di Florio, both native-speaking Italians.
