Synopsis

The Italian Emigration of Our Times examines a global movement that reshaped nations and lives. This book reveals how massive migration from Italy touched economics, culture, and politics across continents.

Through a broad, panoramic view, it shows why vast numbers left Italy, where they settled, and how their presence altered both sender and recipient countries. The author emphasizes careful use of evidence, noting that no single account can capture the full history of emigration and its consequences.

Readers will gain a clear sense of the scale, the patterns of return and reemigration, and the lasting legacies of these migrations—from work and communities to social and cultural change across borders.

• How and why emigration spread from Italy in the modern era


• Patterns of settlement in places like the Americas and Europe


• The political, economic, and social impact on both countries of origin and destination


• How historians use diverse sources to build a coherent picture of migration

Ideal for readers of social history, immigration studies, and readers interested in the Italian diaspora.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A mong these the Italian easily ranks first in importance, and it is typical in many respects of the rest. The problems it exhibits are fundamental, and they stand forth in such sharpness of relief and such largeness of dimension that there can be no mistaking their nature. One sinterest, however, easily goes further. So embracing has been this emigration that a chronicle of its development must constitute an indispensable chapter in the history of the Italian people, whose gifts to civilization and whose qualities in human intercourse have attached them to men everywhere. So memorable likewise have been the contributions of the emigrants in a number of lands that chapters setting forth their fortunes there must always hold a place in the histories of the several countries themselves. Inevitably such chapters must lack a certain dramatic element possible to narrative or political or biographical writing. For emigration is first of all, and chiefly, a scattering. The steerage of the Atlantic vessel has farmers without lands, builders without bricks, doctors without patients, and the marks that distinguish the dramatis personae at every step have to be obliterated in order that the collective experience may be understood. On the other hand, just the fact that a myriad of wills are in question, and the homely types among men the diggers and hewers, at the best the artisans brings us nearer to certain great human experiences, to the still, sad music of humanity, than a study of protagonists could do.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
