It hadn't to be loveA journey from Pesaro to Melbourne. E-book. Formato EPUB Sergio Guerra - Venturaedizioni, 2021 -
This is an unfinished novel that Sergio Guerra allowed me to read at the beginning of 2019. He had talked about it more than once, and I wanted to look into the possibility of having it published. He played it down – it was a juvenile work, it was not finished, it had no worth, it was written in English, there were mistakes – but in the end he was pleased to salvage those pages from a distant past which was so dear to him. The story takes place in the 1980s – the years that followed bombs and repression, the years of disco music, of the first imported TV series, of yuppies, of junk-TV for those of us who stayed in Italy. But for Sergio, who speaks in the first person here, they were the golden years of Melbourne, of the search for a new citizenship in order to escape military service (compulsory until 2004 in Italy), of musical experimentations that would lead him to be a composer and a songwriter, as well as the beating soul of several local bands – from the Fratelli Tessuto [Tessuto Brothers] to the Soul Fix, up to the Orchestra Orientabile [Orientable Orchestra] – once back in Italy, this time to stay, after his mother’s sudden death after being run down on a pedestrian crossing.
Figli della diasporaRomanzo e multiculturalità nella Gran Bretagna contemporanea (1950-2014). E-book. Formato EPUB Sergio Guerra - Aras Edizioni, 2014 -
Questo volume rappresenta il primo tentativo di mappatura di un campo di studi di recente affermazione, ovvero il romanzo black British e British Asian dal secondo dopoguerra a oggi. Nell’ambito di una vasta ricognizione della produzione narrativa degli immigrati dalle excolonie di Caraibi, Africa e Asia, e dei loro discendenti, il volume introduce le opere più significative, evidenziando le forme usate e i principali temi trattati, con l’inclusione di cinque case studies. Corredato da un inquadramento dei contesti storici e socioculturali interessati, e con capitoli sulla storia dell’immigrazione in Gran Bretagna, sulla teoria diasporica e sul multiculturalismo, il libro si propone come testo di riferimento ideale per corsi universitari sulla materia e come strumento di approfondimento per tutti coloro che si occupano di cultura britannica e di romanzo contemporaneo in prospettiva multiculturale e transnazionale.
