Title : Bilal on the road of illegal immigrants - Fabrizio Gatti - book
Summary :
A fake name, a small tube with a few dollars rolled up in it, glue to hide his fingerprints, a life jacket, three cans of sardines, a large bottle of water—that's all it takes for Fabrizio Gatti, a journalist at L'Espresso, to transform himself into Bilal, an imaginary immigrant. From Dakar, he will travel to Tripoli, infiltrating the emigration route, in order to enter Europe through the Lampedusa gate, as hundreds of illegal immigrants do every day. In doing so, he crosses the Sahara on trucks, meets members of Al-Qaeda, unscrupulous smugglers, new-style slave traders, and, in Lampedusa, he experiences the daily life of these asylum seekers who will be released with an expulsion notice. A sheet that they hasten to tear into a thousand pieces to try their luck in Italy, France, Germany... Lucid and merciless, Bilal is the chronicle of the greatest adventure of the third millennium experienced in the first person by the author and told as a story. This exceptional book had provoked, upon its release in Italy in November 2007, a huge debate on the situation of immigrants and Fabrizio Gatti won the 2008 Terzani Prize (the biggest Italian non-fiction prize). "A book where the obsession to bear witness is as strong as the hope of the illegal immigrants." Le Monde "Gatti magnifies the great report." Télérama "A moving literary force." La Croix "
