Guido Chelazzi's 'Inquietudine migratoria' Examines Human Mobility
A review of Guido Chelazzi's book 'Inquietudine migratoria. Le radici profonde della mobilità umana' (Carocci editore, 2016) explores the deep roots of human mobility. Chelazzi argues that migration is driven by five factors: economic, political, demographic, social, and environmental. He notes that since the Neolithic, humans moved not only due to necessity but also curiosity and adventure. The UN estimates over 200 million migrants globally, a 37% increase in twenty years. The review criticizes Europe's unpreparedness for current migration dynamics, urging readers to understand the phenomenon through Chelazzi's work.
