Eminent Italian historian Giovanni Levi once notably remarked that
"no one is a Marxist anymore," pointing to a paradox in Italian
cultural history. While what is called "Marxism" was supposedly
hegemonic over Italian culture, and especially history writing, for
decades in the postwar period, it then seems to have suddenly
disappeared. This study questions such a vision of a monolithic and
hegemonic Marxism. It starts from the most effective anecdote to
all ideologising narratives-that is, research into the texts
themselves. It sees the Marxist historiography of the post-1945
period as a "history in the making," in which references to Marxian
theory were a fundamental factor driving historiographical
innovation. This allows the book to bring to light a highly
original experience in the development of historiography, based on
the long Italian tradition of reflection on historical knowledge.
