World War II was over, Western Europe was rebuilding, and laborers were in short supply. The masses of foreign workers recruited to fill the gap presented, or so it seemed to their host countries, a temporary solution--but then the guests opted to stay. How have these permanent visitors fitted into Western European societies, where xenophobia and liberalism coexist in an uneasy balance? Have such marginalized groups developed any recognizable forms of political participation? This book, a rare account of political activity among these immigrants, reveals the extent of their impact on and interaction with the policies and politics of their adopted countries.
There are growing signs of fundamental changes in Italy. This book portrays movement against the background of social, political and economic development in Italian society.

Using traditional mourning rituals as an instructive touchstone, Gail Holst-Warhaft explores the ways sorrow is managed in our own times and how mourning can be manipulated for social and political ends. It might be argued that modern society has largely abdicated its role in managing sorrow. In "The Cue for Passion," however, we see that some communities, moved by the intensity of their grief, have utilized it to gain ground for their own agendas.
