Offering a kaleidoscopic perspective on the experiences of Italian workers on foreign soil, Italian Workers of the World explores the complex links between international class formation and nation building. Distinguished by an international panel of contributors, this wide-ranging volume examines how the reception of immigrants in their new countries shaped their sense of national identity and helped determine the nature of the multiethnic states in which they settled. In Argentina and Brazil, Italian migrants were welcomed as a civilizing influence and were instrumental in establishing and leading syndicalist and anarcho-syndicalist labor movements committed to labor internationalism. In the United States, by contrast, where Italian workers were greeted by the American Federation of Labor's hostility to socialism, internationalism, and unskilled laborers, they organized in ethnically mixed unions, including the radical Industrial Workers of the World. The xenophobia they encountered in the land of opportunity ultimately encouraged sympathy among Italian Americans for Mussolini's modernizing, imperialist ambitions for the Italian state.Covering the work of republican Garibaldi boundaries of historical nationalism.

The paper shows that it is possible to derive a dataset on foreign workers from the Social Security Archive by using the place of native workers; however, the cumulative duration of occupation of foreigners and natives is more similar. The analysis of the wage birth as selecting device and controlling for age and date of entry. Three main issues have been analyzed in the paper: the employment behavior of foreign workers and the degree of their assimilation, their wage differential and their wage assimilation, as well as their competitive or complementary role in the labor market. Migrant workers are more mobile than differential; using the Oaxaca decomposition reveals a small wage gap, 70% explained by the different characteristics of native and foreign labor force and only the remainder is due to unobserved characteristics or discrimination. Last but not least the competitive or complementary role of foreign workers in the labor market is explored. The first difference estimates of the native workers' wage do not appear to be affected by variations in local demand or by the share of foreign workers and this result was to be expected because the institutionalized system of determining wages is not sufficiently flexible to react quickly to external changes such as an increase in the supply of labor.

This first open access book in a series of three volumes provides an in-depth analysis of social protection policies that EU Member States make accessible to resident nationals, non-resident nationals and non-national residents. In doing so, it discusses different scenarios in which the interplay between nationality and residence could lead to inequalities of access to welfare. Each chapter maps the eligibility conditions for accessing social benefits, by paying particular attention to the social entitlements that migrants can claim in host countries and/or export from home countries. The book also identifies and compares recent trends of access to welfare entitlements across five policy areas: health care, unemployment, family benefits, pensions, and guaranteed minimum resources. As such this book is a valuable read to researchers, policy makers, government employees and NGO’s.
