Description
Book SynopsisDuring a period of heightened global concerns about the movement of immigrants and refugees across borders, Migrant Anxieties explores how filmmakers in Italy have probed the tensions accompanying the country's shift from an emigrant nation to a destination point for over five million immigrants over the course of three decades.
Trade ReviewMigrant Anxieties is a compelling, up-to-date analysis of Italian migration cinema since the 1990s in a transnational perspective, under the critical lens of race, class, gender, and nationality.
