Dinglasan - who comes from the Philippines, where some islands are still affected by malaria - sees things in a more basic way. Malaria, he says, is "a dark cloud. We're talking about the deaths of small children. They can't get past the age of 5. I don't know if you can measure the full impact of that." You can't.

Kyle, 27, has spent most of his life in the groves, which have been in the family since his great-grandfather's day. His first memories are of riding a tractor beneath mile after mile of rich, dark green foliage dappled with orange and yellow.

...reality. About 20% of Italy's foreign population is under age 18. Many of these people know no other home other than the land that won't accept them as its own. Italians don't like to think they're racist, but it would be hard to find a dark-skinned resident who agrees. "We're creating a group of people who are heavily marginalized and will react the way that marginalized people react," says Sciortino.
