9) L’
integrazione è riuscita oppure no?
OLTREOCEANO
Dopo
la seconda guerra mondiale quasi 29 milioni di italiani decisero di
emigrare all’ estero per costruirsi una nuova vita, scegliendo
paesi in via di sviluppo come Argentina, America e Canada.
Gli
italiani che emigrarono provenivano in gran parte dal nord e dal sud
Italia, erano di origine contadina e, una volta all’ estero,
continuarono a coltivare i campi. Gli italiani costituivano anche un’
importante risorsa di manodopera e contribuirono alla realizzazione
di nuovi edifici ed imprese industriali.
ARGENTINA - sì
Nel
1863 gli italiani acquistarono fondi.
Nel 1865 l’
Argentina anticipò le spese del viaggio agli immigranti
italiani per attirarli nel loro paese, affinché poi potessero
disporre di braccianti agricoli e latifondisti.
Nel
secondo dopoguerra, tra il presidente Peròn e il governo De
Gasperi vengono siglati due Trattati bilaterali (1947-1948), nei
quali la crescente richiesta di manodopera per il progetto argentino
di sviluppo economico incontra l’orientamento politico
italiano, che vede nell’emigrazione una valvola di drenaggio
per il surplus di forza lavoro. In 5 anni (1947-51) partono 300.000
Italiani, e l’Argentina raccoglie da sola oltre il 50% del
flusso diretto oltreoceano; nel 1949, anno in cui si raggiunge il
picco di arrivi, l’Argentina risulta al primo posto in assoluto
tra i paesi di destinazione.
Nel 1950 gli italiani erano ormai
ben integrati ed avevano anche fondato un proprio giornale; le uniche
lotte avvennero tra i vecchi ed i nuovi emigranti italiani sulle
vecchie e nuove ideologie politiche.
CANADA - sì
In
Canada l’ integrazione fu una delle meglio riuscite. Nel 1971,
il Canada fu il primo stato che adottò ufficialmente il
multiculturalismo, affermando così «Il Canada afferma
così il valore e la dignità di tutti i cittadini,
indipendentemente dalle origini razziali ed etniche, lingua o
religione».
La
lingua italiana è oggi la terza lingua parlata in Canada e la
prima delle non ufficiali, questo dimostra come l’ integrazione
abbia avuto successo.
AUSTRALIA - sì
Molti
italiani sono ritornati in Italia, ma la comunità italiana
resta tuttora quella di lingua non inglese più ampia.
Il
censimento del 1996 dimostrò come 23.000 vivessero a Perth, e
200.000 in Australia.
Molti emigranti italiani erano contadini e
pastori, e continuarono a fare il loro lavoro anche una volta
trasferiti. Iniziarono l’ industria vinicola, ancora proficua,
ed i pastori allevarono le pecore e producevano una buona
lana.
AMERICA - sì e no
L’ America
vedeva gli emigranti come una risorsa di manodopera, tuttavia le
politiche per l’ accettazione erano durissime e molti uomini
erano rispediti nel vecchio Continente; lo sbarco e la selezione dei
nuovi americani avvenivano ad Ellis Island, che infatti è
detta «isola delle lacrime».
Gli italiani crearono
un loro quartiere, il «Little Italy», per aiutarsi a
vicenda tra connazionali e poter mantenere le loro tradizioni. Questo
dimostra tuttavia come l’ integrazione non sia perfettamente
riuscita.
VENEZUELA - no
Inizialmente il
Venezuela accolse volentieri gli italiani, gli operai qualificati
contribuirono alla realizzazione di nuovi edifici e nell’
industria del petrolio. Verso gli anni ’70 però, i
nativi iniziarono un movimento di xenofobia verso gli italiani,
picchiandoli e maltrattandoli, e gli italiani ritornarono in patria.
9) Erkläre, ob die Integration erfolgreich war oder nicht
Sitografia:

www.consultanazionaleemigrati.it
Nach
dem Zweiten Weltkrieg emigrierten fast 29 Millionen Italiener ins
Ausland, um sich ein neues Leben aufzubauen, und sie wählten gut
entwickelten Ländern wie Argentinien, Amerika und Kanada.
Die
Italiener kamen hauptsächlich aus Nord-und Süditalien,
waren bäuerlicher Herkunft, und machten im Ausland ihre Arbeit
weiter, sie bebauten zum Beispiel Felder. Die italienischen
Arbeitskräfte waren auch wichtig im Bauwesen.
Nach
Übersee
ARGENTINIEN
Im
Jahre 1863 kauften viele Italiener Großgrundbesitze.
1865
erließen die Argentinier den italienischen Migranten die
Reisekosten, weil Argentinien sehr an einer Zuwanderung der
italienischen Landarbeiter interessiert war.
Nach dem
Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden zwischen Italien und Argentinien zwei
Verträge verfasst, wodurch die wachsende Nachfrage nach
Arbeitskräften mittels des Projektes der „argentinischen
Wirtschaftsentwicklung“ zum Ausdruck kam.
Für
Italien war dieses Abkommen wie ein „Ablassventil für
überschüssige Arbeitskräfte“.
In 5 Jahren
(1947-1951) wanderten 300.000 Italiener aus, 50% davon nach
Argentinien.
Als die meisten Italiener Argentinien erreichten,
war es bereits eines der beliebtesten Zieländer von
Auswanderen.
Schon 1950 waren die Italiener gut integriert und
hatten auch ihre eigene Zeitung.
Das einzige Problem waren die
Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den alten und den neuen italienischen
Migranten untereinander aufgrund ihrer unterschiedlichen politischen
Einstellung.
KANADA
In Kanada war die Integration eine der erfolgreichsten.
Im Jahr 1971 war Kanada der erste Staat, der sich
offiziell zum Multikulturalismus bekannte: "Kanada meint,
dass der Wert und die Würde aller Bürger,
unabhängig von Rasse und ethnischer Herkunft, Sprache
oder Religion sein sollten."
Italienisch
ist heute die dritte offizielle und die erste inoffizielle Sprache.
Dies beweist, wie erfolgreich die Integration dort
war.
AUSTRALIEN
Obwohl in den letzten Jahren
viele italienische Auswanderer wieder nach Italien zurückgekommen
sind, sind sie immer noch die größte, nicht
englischsprachige Gemeinschaft in Australien.
Viele italienische Emigranten waren Bauern und Hirten und sind es auch heute noch. Sie begannen Wein anzubauen. Viele wurden Schafzüchter.
AMERIKA
Für
die Amerikaner waren die Migranten zwar Arbeitskräfte, aber sie
akzeptierten sie nur sehr schwer und viele Männer wurden wieder
nach Europa zurückgeschickt. Ellis Island war der Ort, an dem
darüber entschieden wurde. In der Tat wird sie als "Insel
der Tränen» bezeichnet.
Die Italiener schufen
ihre eigenen Bezirke, wie "Little Italy", um
einander zu helfen und ihre Sitten und Gebräuche beizubehalten.
Die Integration ist also in Amerika nicht gut gelungen.
VENEZUELA
In den ersten Jahren waren die Italiener dort willkommen;
sie bauten neue Gebäude und arbeiteten in der Erdölindustrie.
In den siebziger Jahren kam es zu den ersten Episoden an
Fremdenfeindlichkeit gegen die Italiener. Sie wurden oft geschlagen
oder misshandelt und so kehrten viele in ihre Heimat zurück.

Question 9: Explain if the different subgroups / ethnic groups have been able to integrate or not.
AFTER
THE SECOND WORLD WAR:
With the end of The Second World War a new
phase of substantial increase in migration flows began
worldwide.
After The Second World War and the decolonization
process, a growing stream of immigrants poured into the European
countries. The structural lack of manpower led the European economies
to open their national labor markets and to accept the immigration of
unskilled workers who had some cultural or historical connection with
the societies of immigration. These migrations were characterized by
a strong male presence.
While in the decades before the
First World War the flows of workers had been directed to a few
industrialized regions of Europe
and came mainly from the neighboring countries, in the years of
reconstruction and development after the Second World War much larger
areas were affected by flows of workers from the colonies which were
gradually conquering their independence.
In this way, the
traditional north-south direction of migrations was reversed, setting
the stage for a change in interethnic relationships.
Given the
increased integration between state and economy, the need of manpower
for the reconstruction and development led the countries of
North-West Europe to undertake the task of promoting and facilitating
the influx of workers from abroad, developing a model which can be
defined as competitive bilateralism.
They stipulated a series of
bilateral treaties with the main countries
of origin of the
workforce (Greece, Italy, Yugoslavia, Morocco, Portugal, Spain,
Tunisia, Turkey).
Italy, the main country of emigration in that
period, signed the first agreement of recruitment in 1946, and
agreements with all major European countries of immigration followed.
Britain was initially characterized
by a liberal legislation of welcoming immigrants, due to its strict
relationships with its colonies and Commonwealth countries.
France
was the first to declare their need for foreign workers. It promoted
the migration of families, supporting therefore a definite policy of
long-term immigration. Through the extension of rights and duties of
citizenship to immigrants, France pursued the goal of
assimilation.
The migration of population to France was one of
two models of European migration policies of that period.
Opposed to the French model was that
of immigration “temporary migration” prevalent in
Germany, which supported the temporary nature of the phenomenon.
The
Federal Republic of Germany needed manpower for the reconstruction.
Initially, this need was met by refugees and displaced Germans who,
because of the shifting of borders to the west, came from the regions
of Central and Eastern Europe. Until 1961 the Federal Republic of
Germany received an average of 200,000 Übersiedler (Germans from
the GDR) year.
This flow, starting from 1961, was reduced to an
average of less than 25,000 entries annually. For this reason, since
the second half of the fifties Germany began to turn to the countries
of Mediterranean Europe (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Yugoslavia,
Turkey), developing the so-called system of "guest workers"
(guest workers) . Since the fifties, Germany HAS never ever called
itSELF a "country of
immigration ", but has always
preferred the phrases “extended stay” and “temporary
foreign workers."
MODELS OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION:
In
terms of host countries, we can identify different
cultural
patterns that originate different policies of social integration
regarding the degree of integration between the national identity and
the identity of the migrants. The concept of "integration"
(and the policies that derive from it) is not unique nor homogeneous.
It is a complex concept whose meaning may vary over time and space
depending on the country considered, the historical and political
circumstances and the immigration phase.
What certainly
distinguishes integration from other phenomena is its dynamic
nature: it can therefore be defined both as a process, and as the
outcome of that process.
The different meanings of integration
shift the focus of several
processes, emphasizing different
aspects. For example, one distinguishes between
integration
"systemic" integration and "social" integration
between
"Economic" integration and "political"
... etc. .
With reference to the immigration countries of
West Europe, we
can distinguish four models of integration:
Temporary:
In this model, the residence permit is closely related to the work
permit, so the immigrant who loses his job is expelled. As long
as the immigrant is
holder of an employment contract, he shall
enjoy the same social security rights enjoyed by the local worker.
However, the rights related to social integration itself are not
recognized: family reunions are discouraged and feeling rooted is
impossible. This is the traditional German model of "guest
workers" (Gastarbeiter), which has been reformed only recently.
Assimilation:
the immigrant is seen as an individual who is destined to become a
citizen of the host country, so it is relatively easy to access
citizenship (the jus soli
applies). However, the specific ethnic, cultural, religious,
linguistic differences
are
ignored in the name of the optimistic universalism of
the host
country. Migration flows are selected favouring those populations
which are closest from a linguistic or cultural point of view. This
pattern is typical of France and of early migrations to America.
Multicultural:
immigrants are first considered as belonging to one of the national
groups who have settled in a given country, but are still treated
unfairly. They are then given the status of minorities to be
protected. The relationship between immigrants and native is of
mutual tolerance, but also separation; in fact, there is a tendency
to favor the formation of autonomous communities. This model is
being implemented in the U.S. (where it is is called the melting pot,
where different cultures are blended together), Holland, Sweden.
Implicit: immigration is neither explicitly recognized nor encouraged as a phenomenon, but it is not ruled by systematic official policies. This leads to ambivalent behavior on the part of the native against immigrants, ranging from humanitarian assistance and hospitality to incidents of intolerance and rejection. This ambivalence is also evident in work policies. Whenever the immigrant is regularly employed, equal rights are recognized, but irregular work is widely tolerated, as this is very convenient to local companies. Even achieving the status of citizen is difficult and uncertain. This integration model is still being carried out in Italy.
