Tracing the link between globalisation and world migrations, this visionary political analysis shows how new forms of struggle and a new global working class are coming into being. Colatrella bases his study on the often neglected case of Italy, where immigrants have become crucial as workers in export production and have engaged in innovative struggles, laying a basis for a revival of the working class and leftist movements in that country. A sweeping account of the opportunities for working class unity across national lines in the age of globalisation.
