Landless: the challenges of accepting the Earth’s new ‘wretched’.
€ 3.00In this historic moment, it is increasingly important to answer the question: how do we receive migrants, those who have left their homes in order to survive? Continued talk of emergencies is pointless: the arrival of boats overflowing with the ‘wretched of the Earth’ to our shores is no longer an exception - it is the rule. As is the condition of the refugee, the exile and the asylum seeker. How do we Italians, we Europeans, receive those who arrive seeking hope? What do we say to those desperate faces that interrogate us daily? Are we, will we be able to turn those questions into our own? To reflect upon and appeal to the values that make us human? Or will we surrender to the siren songs that whisper to us to shut ourselves in our homes, to close our doors to these new arrivals, because they’re dangerous? This challenge of acceptance is the greatest challenge of our time, from which we cannot and must not even attempt to run.
