N2  - This article studies the relationship between the production of the Mediterranean border between Italy and Tunisia, and Italy's internal geographies of uneven development, commonly known as the 'Southern Question'. Through a study of contemporary Tunisian migration to Sicily in relation to turn of the 20th century Sicilian southward migration to French Protectorate Tunisia, it claims that Sicilians were made into Italians and Europeans through their relationship with Tunisians, and that Sicily was produced as Europe through the progressive demarcation and fortification of the Mediterranean border. Drawing on literature on colonial sociospatial differentiation, internal colonialism and postcolonial analyses of migration to Europe, this article reframes current debates around the 'integration' of migrants as part of longer-term questions around the incorporation of 'difference' into the body-politic of the nation-questions that were historically posed in relation to colonial subjects and populations of metropolitan peripheries. Thus, the article considers current debates around the incorporation of migrants as part of a longer-term process of definition of the 'civilizational' boundaries of Europe
