"In a village in the poor, neglected region of Basilicata in southern Italy, a small group of people from Darfur in Western Sudan have set up home. These refugees work the tomato fields. They were hired by the caporali, intermediaries employing questionable practices, who offer their services to the landowners. Their working and living conditions border on slavery. Elsewhere in the Mezzogiorno, others, from Tunisia or West Africa, long since suffered a similar fate and then rebelled."
