The sea on the middle

by Gabriele del Grande

"We are writers no words to subvert that reality. I chose the words of my beloved Mediterranean by the sea of half. I chose the stories of the fathers of Annaba and those of the godfathers of Tunis. The diasporas stories of two former Italian colonies such as Eritrea and Somalia in the years of rejections in Libya and those of the fishermen in the Sicilian Channel. Stories of the Italians, in quotes, that Italy sends out and those of many 'Italie' born without a sound in 'the sides of Italy', in rural Morocco, on the Nile delta and in the villages of Burkina Faso".

Three years of investigations into one compelling story: a journey between memory and current through a collection of stories that make our history. A courageous exploration, sponsored by Amnesty International, Asgi and Cric on both sides of the Mediterranean Sea, along the routes of travelers past and present, men, women and often children who seek a future and find a barrier of steel and injury at the mercy of human trafficking, fierce captors and hard international agreements.

It 's all this the new book by Gabriele Del Grande, founder of Fortress Europe, the Observatory on the migration victims, after just a month already being reprinted. Expelled from Tunisia and in the black list of local intelligence, the author puts on the trail of Somalis and Eritreans rejected Libya, shedding light on the most mysterious shipwreck ever occurred on the route to Italy. His network of informers extends from the southern coast of the Mediterranean to Italy and deportation centers. What comes out investigations into fraud and beatings. And a lot of trouble. But, as taught by the fishermen of Mazara, you can’t turn away. And the journey continues in search of truth, from the Nile to the Burkina Faso.
