L'Italia Postcoloniale
Files
Description
The volume presents the postcolonial condition as one of the determining factors that shape the daily life and culture of contemporary Italy. It identifies a wide variety of discourses, social practices and forms of cultural production specifically postcolonial that find expression in today's Italy. This collective volume is not limited to a rereading of the colonial past but underlines how the power relations established by colonialism are perpetuated and corroborated in contemporary society. It also establishes a relationship of continuity between the colonial past and other phenomena central to the formation of the Italian identity, such as transoceanic and European emigration, the subordination of the South, internal migrations, the relationship with the Mediterranean and contemporary immigration. Through the analysis of scholars who work in an international and interdisciplinary context, the volume fully introduces postcolonial studies as a field of investigation that broadens and enriches the theoretical-critical debate on Italian history and culture.
