This book is a collection of stories written by young immigrants from various parts of the world: Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Philippines, China, Egypt and Nigeria. Stories of pain, hope, integration and disintegration. Authentic stories, which are powerful, written in the first person by the youths themselves and which narrate the trauma of leaving your homeland and your loved ones, from villages and the countryside; the journey – oft-times full of adventure – which brought them here; the problematic reunification with their mothers; the difficulties on arrival, with linguistic and cultural differences; the anguish – often not separate from the relief – of adapting to their new country.
The book is the result of a project led by a team of teachers from a school in the suburbs of Milan and a journalist.
