- Abstract
- Given its considerable border on the Mediterranean Sea, Italy has become one of the most accessible destinations for contemporary migration flows. Its accessibility has brought more migrants to Italy in recent decades than ever before, rapidly transforming the demographic nature of the country (Bond 2). New migration patterns are bringing fewer migrants from Western Europe, and many more migrants from Northern Africa and Eastern Europe. These movements are quickly introducing diverse ethnic minorities into all sectors of Italian society, where they have begun to attempt integration. In many areas, the integration of migrants has been slow. In this thesis, I will explore the fields of Literature, Media, and Education in Italy and demonstrate how they have been transformed by the arrival of new migrants and how Italians have reacted to the changes in norms. I will demonstrate these trends with paid attention to the role of language among host society members and its culpability in so far discouraging migrant integration.
