Italian Modernities : Competing Narratives of Nationhood PDF
by Rosario Forlenza, Bjorn Thomassen
Part of the Italian and Italian American Studies series
Description
This book argues that Italy represents a privileged entry point into the comparative analysis of ideologies and experiences of modernity.
The book compares how thinkers and politicians belonging to different ideological clusters - Liberalism, Communism, Fascism, Chistian Democracy - came to formulate multiple and often antagonistic visions of Italy's road to the modern.
By revisiting Italian political history from the late nineteenth century until the present with a focus on transition periods, Italian Modernities explores how competing historical narratives influenced shifting understandings of Italian nationhood, thus foregrounding the active role of memory politics in the formulation of multiple modernities.
