[Marilena · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quite an interesting book about difference, ethnicity, critical views of multiculturalism, the nomadic perspective in the writer's work, immigration (why to write only on immigration...since experiences of Italian-Americans and Italian-Canadians writers may differ?).
There are many references to literature, and also to films and other domains.
I found out lots of new names. For example I hadn't known about Italo Scanga or Tina Modotti. Very well, I know now. :)
