This riveting book chronicles the lives of a group of fishermen from Ghana who took the long and dangerous journey to Southern Italy in search of work in a cutthroat underground economy. A story that illuminates the nature of high-risk migration around the world, Darkness before Daybreak reveals the challenges and experiences of these international migrants who, like countless others, are often in the news but are rarely understood. Hans Lucht tells how these men live on the fringes of society in Naples, what the often deadly journey across the Sahara Desert and Mediterranean Sea involved, and what their lives in the fishing village of Senya Beraku—where there are no more fish—were like. Asking how these men find meaning in their experiences, Lucht addresses broader existential questions surrounding the lives of economic refugees and their death-defying struggle for a life worth living. He also considers the ramifications of the many deaths that occur in the desert and the sea for those who are left behind.

Questo libro è il primo frutto di un programma di ricerca triennale (2011-2013) su Boccaccio angioino. Con questo titolo, i curatori del presente volume intendono sottolineare la necessità di inserire l’attività letteraria di Giovanni Boccaccio dentro il più ampio contesto culturale, storico, politico e artistico del Trecento. Agli autori dei saggi qui raccolti è stata pertanto proposta una riflessione sulla dimensione «angioina» piuttosto che genericamente «napoletana» dell’esperienza boccacciana. L’obiettivo è stato di far convergere i risultati maturati nei diversi ambiti disciplinari – dalla storia dell’arte alla musicologia, dalla filologia romanza alla storia della lingua e della letteratura – in una comune prospettiva di tipo tipologico-culturale, a partire dalla convinzione che le opere d’arte, nella loro determinazione storica, descrivano un certo assetto politico-sociale e determinino una certa proiezione culturale e simbolica collettiva.L’immagine della città nel Trecento, i suoi monumenti, le dinamiche culturali e le tensioni politiche che l’attraversarono sono l’oggetto dei singoli contributi che il lettore potrà qui trovare, insieme a degli studi dedicati alla cultura letteraria di Boccaccio, ai suoi testi giovanili, al suo rapporto con le opere e con la lingua della dinastia dominante angioina.
