Anne Morelli
2004, Editoriale Umbra, Foligno
Book
Italian
The book belongs to a book series named "I quaderni del museo dell’immigrazione" (The notebooks of the museum of emigration). The book is about the Italian emigration to Belgium from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the 20th one. The last two chapters deal with the periods during and after the Second World War until the 70s. It describes the precarious conditions of Italian people, who fled to Belgium to find new opportunities of work, having to face political, economical and social problems.
This book can help to understand the difficult economical situation in Italy in the years after the Second World War, when many people had to flee abroad, mainly to Belgium. This foreign traffic of people caused also racist reactions among the Belgians, who often regarded Italian immigration as a trouble rather than an economical resource
