Confront the pressing questions of race and migration in modern 

society, with a particular focus on Italy, with this workshop offered 

live from Temple’s Rome campus. From classic Greeks and Romans, 

who saw themselves under siege by the “barbarian hordes,” to 

contemporary America and its war on “extremism,” Western 

societies have repeatedly represented groups of people as threats to 

civilization. What is behind this impulse to divide the world into “us”

racial difference? And what happens when the “barbarian hordes” 

talk back?
