Empire’s Mobius Strip: Italy’s Migrant Crisis Today and Its Colonial Past

In her new book, author Stephanie Malia Hom argues that Italy’s response to today’s migrant crisis is rooted in the nation’s imperial history. The main way empire’s Mobius strip operates, its looping of past and present, of colonial imperialism and neoliberal empire, is through control of movement and of “unsanctioned mobility.” It’s a system that she says should be “razed and rebuilt.” Today, we still need to guard against such abuses.

Sala a Liberty Island: “Passati di qui più di 2000 miei antenati. Quanti i Salvini?”

“Mi sono informato su quanti Sala sono passati da qui”, ha spiegato il Sindaco in un video pubblicato sulla sua pagina Facebook. “Più di 2000”, ha sottolineato. “E poi la curiosità è stata di verificare quanti Salvini: 254”. E ha proseguito: “Ora un piccolo richiamo al nostro Vicepremier. Ognuno fa la sua parte, la politica è interpretazione dei fabbisogni della società, però entrando qua non si può non riflettere e ripensare ai nostri antenati, che sono arrivati affamati, magri, scalzi, e a quello che succede oggi. Per cui ognuno faccia la sua parte, però un po’ di cuore in più non basterebbe”

“Quid Est Veritas?”: Antonio Monda Posed that Question at NYU Casa Italiana

In his opening speech, Monda mentioned his encounter with Primo Levi. Monda was shooting a documentary on Jewish-American culture and had requested an interview with Levi. Monda asked what advice Levi would give to a non-Jewish person who wanted to tell the story of his people. Levi answered “I would give impossible advice, that of not having any prejudice”. Is Primo Levi right to affirm that it is impossible to overcome prejudice and why? What is the truth behind our prejudice? Does the truth even exist? Quid est veritas?
