States of Grace: Senegalese in Italy and the New European Immigration (Minnesota Archive Editions)

Focusing on Turin, the northern Italian point of entry for so many Senegalese, States of Grace chronicles the arrival and formation of a transnational African Islamic community in a largely Catholic Western European country. Carter shows how the Senetgalese migration calls into question the European interstate system, the future of the nation-state, and the nature of its relationship with non-European states.
