Abstract: Italian 19th century immigration to Malta was intimately connected with the steady spread of culture amongst the Maltese, especially through the ever-expanding medium of journalism. En passant, one of these newspapers, L’Emigrazione Maltese (1867-1877) which was edited by Amabile Bonello, had the specific aim of organizing Maltese migration to the North African coast, especially to Tripolitania and Cyrenaica. Another newspaper, Afrique Maltaise (1889-1890), edited by Enrico Zammit, voiced the general interests of the Maltese settlers in Algeria, Tunisia and Tripolitania. Even Maltese emigrants abroad were to be quite involved in the journalistic sphere. For example, Sapienza (1977) lists no less than eleven newspapers published in Egypt and Tunisia by Maltese immigrants prior to 1940. [excerpt]
Nell’ ‘800 l’isola di Malta è stata rifugio sicuro per centinaia di intellettuali italiani esuli, che scappavano dalla penisola vicina dopo i falliti tentativi rivoluzionari del 1821 e 1848. Questo articolo tratta di alcuni dei giovani scrittori maltesi che, dopo l’adesione di Malta all’Unione Europea nel 2004, hanno trovato lavoro all’estero, in particolare nell’Unione Europea, ma anche negli Stati Uniti, luoghi che non hanno fatto dimenticare le loro origini isolane mediterranee. La formazione giovanile a Malta diventa protagonista dei loro lavori, insieme alle problematiche comuni che devono affrontare tutti i giovani in un mondo globalizzato.
