Evicted from Eternity
Modern Rome is a city rife with contradictions. Once the seat of ancient glory, it is now often the object of national contempt. It plays a significant part on the world stage, but the concerns of its residents are often deeply parochial. And while they live in the seat of a world religion, Romans can be vehemently anticlerical. These tensions between the past and the present, the global and the local, make Rome fertile ground to study urban social life, the construction of the past, the role of religion in daily life, and how a capital city relates to the rest of the nation. Michael Herzfeld focuses on Rome’s historic Monti district and the wrenching dislocation caused by rapid economical...
Migratory Stratifications. A New Perspective on Migration and Social Change through the Italian Lens
This groundbreaking edited book offers an innovative lens to explore how migration and social change are intertwined, moving beyond sensationalized media narratives and political agendas. It introduces the concept of "migratory stratification," challenging researchers to focus on the long-lasting effects of migration rather than fleeting, superficial headlines. By investigating immigrant labour dynamics, migration policies, and socio-historical contexts, the book delves into the structural forces that shape migration and the working-class struggles that emerge. Featuring in-depth case studies from Italy, it reveals migration's deep social impact on labour, politics, and urban spaces, providi...
The Oxford Handbook of Oral History
In the past sixty years, oral history has moved from the periphery to the mainstream of academic studies and is now employed as a research tool by historians, anthropologists, sociologists, medical therapists, documentary film makers, and educators at all levels.

The volume is addressed to seasoned practitioners as well as to newcomers, offering diverse perspectives on the current state of the f...
After the Fall
After the Fall explores the many traces of fascism that can be found in the architecture and urban form of Rome – from its buildings, monuments and piazze, to its street names and graffiti. It reveals how the legacy of this short period in history shaped - and continues to shape - Rome's contemporary cityscape in powerful ways, and examines what this can tell us about the persistence of troubling political and historical legacies in the built environment. Italy's fascist period (1922-1943) is perhaps the least-understood episode of Rome's architectural history. Yet paradoxically those two decades have, arguably more than any other, defined our contemporary view of Rome's world-famous ancie...
Terremoto
Gennaio1972: un evento sismico investe la città di Ancona e cambia per sempre la vita dei suoi abitanti. Tutti, chi più chi meno, ne saranno profondamente segnati. Ma qualcuno più degli altri. Chi ha vissuto tutta la vita nel quartiere a ridosso del porto vedrà scomparire tra i vicoli abbandonati persone, volti, consuetudini. La propria storia e quella di chi l’ha condivisa evaporerà come foschia al mattino. Sara, che di quel mondo è la chiave, dovrà cambiare anche lei, e trovare una strada oltre il mondo che ha conosciuto.

Su onde d'acqua, di sabbia e di terra
L’emigrazione è una fuga dolorosa e atroce, un folle atto di sradicamento, un movimento contrario al normale corso che la vita di un numero sempre maggiore di persone dovrebbe invece seguire. Giovanni Greci, con la sua analisi precisa, ci porta con sé alla scoperta della vasta letteratura per ragazzi che ha l’emigrazione e tutto ciò che ruota intorno ad essa come tema centrale. Ci consente così di conoscere chi l’ha affrontata in prima persona, che siano personaggi reali o romanzati, e le svariate vicende generatesi in quei contesti. Ai lettori sembrerà di viaggiare verso l’America con una sacca piena di speranza e voglia di riscatto, poi si sentiranno travolti dalle masse in vi...
