Women and Men in Love
It has often been assumed that Europeans invented and had the exclusive monopoly over courtly and romantic love, commonly considered to be the highest form of relations between men and women. This view was particularly prevalent between 1770 and the mid-twentieth century, but was challenged in the 1960s when romantic love came to be seen as a universal sentiment that can be found in all cultures in the world. However, there remains the historical problem that the Europeans used this concept of love as a fundamental part of their self-image over a long period (traces of it still remain) and it became very much caught up in the concept of marriage. This book challenges the underlying Eurocentrism of this notion while exploring in a more general sense the connection between identity and emotions.

The Making of Terrorism
Revised and reissued in light of recent events, this classic and now increasingly important book is an exception in the literature on terrorism. Based on complex observations of actual movement participants, Wieviorka's book addresses a broad spectrum of terrorist activity—from Italian left-wing terrorists to Basque nationalist groups to the international terrorism of Palestine and the Middle East. The result is an incisive analysis of what terrorists believe and what they hope to achieve through their actions. For this new edition, Wieviorka adds new material that remaps the state of terrorism after the events of 2001.
Partisan Diary
From the entry of the Germans into Turin on September 10, 1943 to the liberation of the city on April 28, 1945, Ada Gobetti, translator, educator, and resistance activist, recorded an almost daily account of her life in the resistance movement against the fascist government and the Nazis. Part diary, part memoir, Gobetti's Diario partigiano (Partisan diary) provides a firsthand account of who the anti-fascist partisans in the Piedmont region of Italy were and how they fought.
Autobiography of a Generation
The year 1968 is symbolic in Italy of a decade of struggles by students, women, workers, intellectuals, and technicians. This work documents the intricate web of individual and communal experiences in the political movements of the 1960s. Passerini alternates chapters based on her diaries with interviews of other participants.

Partigia
I «partigia» erano - secondo un modo di dire piemontese - i combattenti della Resistenza spregiudicati nell'uso nelle armi: decisi, e svelti di mano. A loro Primo Levi ha intitolato una poesia del 1981. Narratore formidabile, Levi ha steso però un velo di silenzio sulle settimane da lui trascorse come ribelle nella valle d'Aosta dell'autunno 1943, prima della cattura e della deportazione ad Auschwitz. Non ha alluso che di sfuggita a un «segreto brutto». Scavando in questo segreto, e allargando lo sguardo dalla valle d'Aosta all'Italia del Nord-Ovest, Sergio Luzzatto racconta - attraverso una storia della Resistenza - la storia della Resistenza. Il dilemma della scelta, quale si pose dop...
