Il binomio immigrazione-emigrazione è connaturato alla storia dell’Uruguay, ma oggi sono i processi emigratori a costituire una questione cruciale per il Paese. A partire dalla fine del ‘900 sono fuoriusciti migliaia di Uruguaiani, in particolare fasce di giovani, che hanno compiuto un cammino contrario a quello dei loro avi. La dimensione del percorso migratorio verso la sponda europea dell’oceano appare evidente nel profondo valore che assumono la partenza e il viaggio. Su questi concetti si approfondisce la riflessione presente nella premessa, con riferimenti alle migrazioni del passato e a quelle moderne. Il viaggio di una ricerca mai soddisfatta di una patria.

Abstract
The combination immigration-emigration is linked to the history of Uruguay, but today the emigration processes constitute a critical matter for the Country. Since the end of the XX century, thousands of Uruguayans emigrated, especially young people, making a backwards journey with respect to their ancestors. The significance of this migratory journey towards the European seashore is made evident by the deep value taken by departure and travel. On the basis of these conceptions, the consideration made at the preface is studied in depth, making reference to the past and present migrations. The journey of a never fully met research upon a Country.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
