Workers of the world

African and Asian migrants in Italy in the 1990s / by Steven Colatrella.

"Workers of the World: African and Asian Migrants in Italy in the 1990s traces the link between globalization and world migrations, and shows how new forms of struggle and a new global working class are coming into being.

After examining the expropriations of people's resources carried out through structural adjustment, the book shows how migrant communities from various nations have used migration as a strategy to counter the forces of structural adjustment, and in doing so have created a vast network of transnational linkages. These communities have then inserted themselves into new forms of work, such as in the often neglected case of Italy, where, the author demonstrates, immigrants have become crucial as workers in export production and have engaged in innovative struggles laying the basis for a revival of the working class and leftist movements in that country.

After examining immigrant political activity in the context of the rise of the racist Northern League, the book ends with a discussion of the possibilities that immigrant experiences are setting the stage for a new planetary working class movement."--BOOK JACKET.
