This book investigates the relationship between the ideas of nation
and race among the nationalist intelligentsia of the Italian
Risorgimento and argues that ideas of race played a considerable
role in defining Italian national identity. The author argues that
the racialization of the Italians dates back to the early
Napoleonic age and that naturalistic racialism-or race-thinking
based on the taxonomies of the natural history of man-emerged well
before the traditionally presumed date of the late 1860s and the
advent of positivist anthropology. The book draws upon a wide
number of sources including the work of Vincenzo Cuoco, Giuseppe
Micali, Adriano Balbi, Alessanro Manzoni, Giandomenico Romagnosi,
Cesare Balbo, Vincenzo Gioberti, and Carlo Cattaneo. Themes
explored include links to antiquity on the Italian peninsula,
archaeology, and race-thinking.
