‘Italy is Out, as the title suggests, oversteps the dichotomy of inside-outside by dismissing the idea of Italian migrants as inhabitants of a periphery far from the geographical centre... being Italian means to be part of this collective act of making kin between people and cultures, as the volume itself does by encompassing images and words authored by scholars, artists and migrants themselves. In an ongoing process of mirroring faces, stories and objects, Italy is Out is able to picture, also literally, the complex and dynamic culture of Italy throughout the last two centuries.’ Anna Finozzi, Annali d’Italianistica
