Le deportazioni dal Mezzogiorno nell'autunno-inverno del 1943

The absence of the Southern Italy in the most important moments of Italian history is a stereotype, not entirely unfounded, which moved its first steps by the beginning of our unitary story. The monarchical prevalence on the occasion of the institutional plebiscite of 1946 only seemed to confirm this traditional Southern passiveness which was presumed to be fueled by the continuity of lines of political, social and economic power not at all upset by the war events in the recent world conflict. A simple and linear interpretative scenario which, according to the author, does not correspond to the truth of the facts, not even as regards the tragedies of deportation. [Publisher's Text].
