add to cart   close window

The article discusses the increase in the amount of racism in Italy as right-wing organizations such as the Northern League have used security as an excuse to harass persons of color, including blacks and Muslim immigrants, and how leaders such as Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi made racist remarks about U.S. President-elect Barack Obama. The article discusses the violence perpetrated against immigrants, and the support received from writers such as Amara Lakhous and Enrico Brizzi.
