History in exile : memory and identity at the borders of the Balkans
This book explores the rearrangement of political borders after the Second World War in the Mediterranean region. The work highlighting this new political configuration emphasizes Istrian exodus. The study also talks of the migration of same 350,000 ethnic Italians, Slovens and Croats. The book analyses the experiences of those who undergo actual displacement along with those who suffer interior displacement, losing their homeland without ever phisically moving. It demonstrates how one group misses the crucial dialogue, as well as shared history, uniting these populations. (Adapted from author's introduction)
