Emine Sevgi Özdamar's new novel is a polyphonic hymn to a post-war Europe in which, for a short time, it seemed possible to break down borders using poetry alone.

2014

Ma se è in atto il processo di meticciato culturale, è pur vero che si registrano ancora oggi, sacche di resistenza, quando non addirittura di rifiuto, degli immigrati, con manifestazioni di xenofobia e di vero e proprio “razzismo”, sia a livello politico che da parte della società accogliente. Tramite la conoscenza è possibile acquisire quegli strumenti che, lungi dall’essere proprietà esclusiva degli operatori socio–culturali, favoriscono un ridimensionamento della di…
