The Italian nation-state has been defined by practices of mobility.
Tourists have flowed in from the era of the Grand Tour to the
present, and Italians flowed out in massive numbers in the late
19th and early 20th centuries: Italians made up the largest
voluntary emigration in recorded world history. As a bridge from
Africa to Europe, Italy has more recently been a destination of
choice for immigrants whose tragic stories of shipwreck and
confinement are often in the news. This first-of-its-kind edited
volume offers a critical accounting of those histories and
practices, shedding new light on modern Italy as a flashpoint for
mobilities as they relate to nationalism, imperialism,
globalization, and consumer, leisure, and labor practices. The
book's eight essays reveal how a country often appreciated for what
seems immutable - its classical and Renaissance patrimony - has in
fact been shaped by movement and transit.
