'My home is Switzerland, but in my heart I am Italian'

The increasing mobility in today's society means that territorial, social and cultural barriers are being overcome. Migration thus leads to great diversity in the cultural and social spheres. But what does migration trigger in a migrant? This book examines the identity of first- and second-generation migrants in relation to their relationship with their host country and country of origin.

Autorentext

En 2017 terminé mi máster en Sociología en la Universidad de Zúrich. Como suiza con antecedentes migratorios italianos, el tema de la identidad me ha interesado desde que era pequeña. La teoría de Homi K. Bhabha me dio una razón para profundizar en este tema en mi trabajo.
