La Grande Italia: The Rise and Fall of the Myth of the Nation in the Twentieth Century de Emilio Gentile

La Grande Italia: The Rise and Fall of the Myth of the Nation in the Twentieth Century: George L. Mosse Series in the History of European Culture, Sexuality, and Ideas

Autor Emilio Gentile Traducere de Suzanne Dingee, Jennifer Pudney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 dec 2008
La Grande Italia traces the history of the myth of the nation in Italy along the curve of its rise and fall throughout the twentieth century. Starting with the festivities for the fiftieth anniversary of the unification of Italy in 1911 and ending with the centennial celebrations of 1961, Emilio Gentile describes a dense sequence of events: from victorious Italian participation in World War I through the rise and triumph of Fascism to Italy’s transition to a republic.
    Gentile’s definition of “Italians” encompasses the whole range of political, cultural, and social actors: Liberals and Catholics, Monarchists and Republicans, Fascists and Socialists. La Grande Italia presents a sweeping study of the development of Italian national identity in all its incarnations throughout the twentieth century. This important contribution to the study of modern Italian nationalism and the ambition to achieve a “great Italy” between the unification of Italy and the advent of the Italian Republic will appeal to anyone interested in modern European history, Fascism, and nationalism.

Recenzii

“Certainly the best discussion of a national myth over the whole time span of a nation that I know.”—George L. Mosse

“La Grande Italia exposes the shallowness of an entire row of well-known but flawed ‘narratives’ of the nation-building process in Italy on our library shelves. This comprehensive work supersedes them by giving full weight to the role played by the various utopian projects and social movements born of Italian nationalism, while making penetrating use of heuristic concepts such as myth, modernity, modernism, and the sacralization of politics to reveal the deeper structures of events and processes invisible to some of those who pride themselves in being ‘empirical’ historians.”—Roger Griffin, Oxford Brookes University

“Emilio Gentile’s La Grande Italia is a work of rare quality. It covers, with assurance, economy, intelligence, and objectivity, a century of Italy’s turbulent history. This book is a significant contribution to the literature devoted to Italian Fascism and to the history of Italy after the Fascist experience.”—A. James Gregor, University of California at Berkeley
