A sense of failure pervades Italian history: the failure of the
Liberal State after Unification to democratize, mobilize and
modernize Italian politics, economy and society; the rise of
Fascism as a reflection of these shortcomings; the problems of the
post-war Republic, tainted by corruption, organized crime and
terrorism. The notion has arisen of Italy as a deviant nation,
unable or unwilling to follow the "normal" path of state
development.
These perceptions are the stuff of historical debate, and it is
with the ebb and flow of interpretation that this study is
principally concerned. In each of the three sections--Liberal
Italy, Fascist Italy and Italy from the Occupation until the end of
the "First" Republic - Carter describes and evaluates the
historiographical contours. The politics, economic developments and
society and culture of each period are thoroughly analyzed, and an
overview of recent research into hitherto neglected areas of study,
such as gender, popular culture, and sport, is also included.
This book is an invaluable guide for those wishing to get swiftly
to the heart of the issues in modern Italian history.
