Nata in Italia da genitori di origine senegalese, cresciuta in un paesino di provincia, Nogaye ha assorbito tutto il pregiudizio e il rifiuto che la nostra società riserva a chi è “straniero” e ha istintivamente cercato, con tutta se stessa, di appartenere a una maggioranza che la faceva sentire diversa.

Story
Shunned by society, and sometimes in mortal danger, many coolie women were either runaways, widows, or outcasts. Many of them left husbands and families behind to migrate alone in epic sea voyages-traumatic "middle passages"—only to face a life of hard labor, dismal living conditions, and sexual exploitation. Coolie Woman is a meditation on survival, a gripping story of a double diaspora—from India to the West Indies in one century, Guyana to the United States in the next-that is at once a search for one's roots and an exploration of gender and power, peril and opportunity.

De media tonen bijna wekelijks beelden van gevaarlijke overtochten op de Middellandse Zee en politici beloven de toestroom van migranten en asielzoekers in te perken. Anderen beweren dat we immigranten juist hard nodig hebben om groei en innovatie te stimuleren.
