Aug 31, 2009 – Nick Carter is Visiting Fellow, School of History and Philosophy, University of New South Wales, Australia. The book, “Modern Italy in Historical Perspective” is an ideal summary and evaluation of the major debates in modern Italian history. It covers the economic and social developments as well as the political ones in recent years. The book's organization makes it easy for students and lay readers alike.
This book brings out the sense of failure that is spread throughout the Italian history. It unfolds the failure of the Liberal State after unification to democratize, mobilize and modernize Italian politics. Also the economical and social rise of Fascism is neatly analyzed and pointed out in the pages.
Stating out the problems of the post-war Republic, tainted by corruption, organized crime and terrorism, this cover-story unveils that the notion has arisen of Italy as a deviant nation, unable or unwilling to follow the normal path of state development.
The contents of this book are those perceptions that are from the stuff of historical debate and it is with the ebb and flow of interpretation that this study is principally concerned. There are three categories -- Liberal Italy, Fascist Italy and Italy from the Occupation until the end of the First Republic. In these categories, the author describes and evaluates the historiographical outlines. The politics, economic developments and society and culture of each period are completely analyzed and an overview of recent research into hitherto neglected areas of study, such as gender, popular culture, and sport, is also included.
In short, this book is an invaluable guide for those who would like to gather information about the issues in modern Italian history.
