The Legacies of Two World Wars
The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was done mainly, if one is to believe US policy at the time, to liberate the people of Iraq from an oppressive dictator. However, the many protests in London, New York, and other cities imply that the policy of “making the world safe for democracy” was not shared by millions of people in many Western countries. Thinking about this controversy inspired the present volume, which takes a closer look at how society responded to the outbreaks and conclusions of the First and Second World Wars. In order to examine this relationship between the conduct of wars and public opinion, leading scholars trace the moods and attitudes of the people of four Western countries (Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy) before, during and after the crucial moments of the two major conflicts of the twentieth century. Focusing less on politics and more on how people experienced the wars, this volume shows how the distinction between enthusiasm for war and concern about its consequences is rarely clear-cut.
Italianness and Migration from the Risorgimento to the 1960s
This edited collection explores the notion of Italianness - or Italianità – through migration history. It focuses on the interaction between Italians circulating around the world, and their relationship with Italy from a political and cultural perspective. Answering the important question of how migration affects Italianness, the authors explore the ways in which migrants retained their Italian culture, customs and practices during and after their travels. Spanning a long period from the Risorgimento up until the 1960s, the book sheds light on the institutions and social structures that contributed to the construction of cultural links between Italian migrants and their country of origin. Not only broad in its temporal scope, the volume covers a wide geographic area, examining the lives of Italian migrants in North America, South America, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Bringing together a wealth of research on Italians, alongside the different migratory routes taken by these men and women, this book provides new insights into Italian culture and seeks to strengthen our understanding of Italian migration history.

The Italian Police and the Rise of Fascism
Based on original research using official documents, this illuminating account of the role of the police in the rise to power of Mussolini reveals the internal workings of the Italian Liberal policing system, the tensions between its different branches, and problems related to the shifting demands of its wheeler-dealer political masters. Explanations of the support that the Italian police gave to the fascist movement are to be found not only in the profound social, economic, and political transformations characterizing the years immediately following the First World War, but also in Italy's post-unification administrative system. Police support for the Fascists was often morally, if not phys...

Viaggio in Lucania
«Sono due le Lucanie che Mario La Cava conosce negli anni Cinquanta. Una è la terra osservata con gli occhi di Leonardo Sinisgalli e Rocco Scotellaro, i poeti alfieri di una regione che all’epoca viveva sotto i riflettori di un successo letterario. L’altra è quella geografica, sperimentata in un viaggio effettuato nel 1952 con lo scopo di scrivere un reportage. La prima, quella dei poeti, ha le tinte dell’elegia e la metrica del ricordo. L’altra, quella del viaggio, si presenta secondo il paradigma della terra interna, dal carattere silenzioso e forse anche un poco meditativa, di sicuro un luogo introverso e poco lineare: stradine labirintiche, borghi isolati, tornanti. La Cava ci arriva nelle vesti solitarie dello scrittore in cerca di storie, ma poi si trova dentro una rete di relazioni umane con persone incontrate lungo le strade, nelle locande, nelle case, anonime certo ma non senza volti, di cui si diverte a fornire dettagli. La Lucania vista da La Cava presenta, dunque, un lessico che è ancora quello di un mondo al di qua del moderno, dove però il moderno sta per arrivare dando a questa terra la patente di regione- laboratorio».
