This book argues for the importance of adopting a postcolonial
perspective in analysing contemporary Italian culture and
literature. Originally published in Italian in 2018 as Riscrivere
la nazione: La letteratura italiana postcoloniale, this new English
translation brings to light the connections between the present,
the colonial past and the great historical waves of international
and intranational migration. By doing so, the book shows how a
sense of Italian national identity emerged, at least in part, as
the result of different migrations and why there is such a strong
resistance in Italy to extending the privilege of italianita, or
Italianness, to those who have arrived on Italian soil in recent
years. Exploring over 100 texts written by migrant and
second-generation writers, the book takes an intersectional
approach to understanding gender and race in Italian identity. It
connects these literary and cultural contexts to the Italian
colonial past, while also looking outwards to a more diffuse
postcolonial condition in Europe.
