«Nosaltres, els catalans» is the essay by Víctor Alexandre, published by Editorial Pòrtic in paperback (496 pages, in Catalan).
The book brings together the testimonies of twenty people born on five continents who have put down roots in the Catalan Countries without renouncing their origins. Through their stories, Alexandre analyzes how immigration affects Catalan identity and argues that barriers are mental, not geographical. It includes the case of Senegalese Mbaye Gaye, assaulted by police for speaking Catalan, and stresses the right to live anywhere and the duty to respect the host language and culture.
The work belongs to the P.VISIONS collection from Editorial Pòrtic and was published in March 2008.
Recommended for readers interested in contemporary Catalan society, cultural diversity and the integration processes of migrant people.
