Description: "In this wide-ranging work, Mark Choate examines Italian migration from the perspectives of Italy. What would be the effects of mass emigration upon the newly united nation? How should the state intervene?" "In its probing discussion of transnational identities and international politics, this fascinating book not only narrates the grand story of Italian emigration but also provides important background to immigration debates that continue to this day."--BOOK JACKET.
