The data discussed in the different chapters were collected mostly through ethnographic fieldwork carried out both in China and in Italy. Covered topics include: the organization of Chinese trade activities in Italy, the perception of Italy as a country of migration, identity construction among Italian-born Chinese, language use among Chinese migrants in Italy and literary works written by Chinese in Italy. In addition to the chapters devoted to the discussion of data gathered from fieldwork, an introductory chapter based on a review of the scientific literature is offered in order to provide the reader with a basic background about the characteristics of a migration flow that has lasted nearly a century.linguisticsbicsscLiterature & literary studiesbicsscItalyEmigration and immigrationChinaEmigration and immigrationItalyHistorylinguisticsLiterature & literary studiesPedone Valentina1974-750448BOOK9910571776803321A journey to the West2882831UNINA
