President Myriam Spiteri Debono received a courtesy visit by Dr Raymond Xerri, who presented a copy of his book ‘Gozitan Crossings.’
The publication focuses on the Gozitan identity and its difference from the Maltese identity in the context of the Maltese and Gozitan diaspora around the world.
Among other themes, the book celebrates the cultural, linguistic and dialectic diversity, and the contrasting lifestyle.

I only had one meeting with Dr Raymond Xerri. I enjoyed his insights, and his reflextions. I often was a Gozitan diaspora in my life, as I first lived in Canada for 3 years, two years in Italy, 4 years in Peru and 10 years in Australia. His work with the Gozitans living outside of Malta is indispensable and very commended.
