"An important contribution to the field of postcolonial studies, this volume offers wide-ranging and provocative analyses of the intricately interconnected legacies of colonialism, emigration, and global migration in Italy. Mapping a landscape of postcolonial studies that is unique to Italy in terms of its regimes of race, gender, citizenship and cultural transformations, Postcolonial Italy engenders radically new and challenging critiques of hegemonic British/Indian/USA centered formulations of postcolonial studies." - Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism Without Borders, Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity (2003) "An essential book for any scholar of modern Italy, but in fact for anybody interested in the perduring effects of colonialism in today's globalized world, Postcolonial Italy has the rare merit of casting a bold look not only at the silenced history of Italian colonialism overseas, but also at that chapter of Italy's internal colonialism known as 'the southern question.' The contributions, drawing from postcolonial studies, cultural studies, race theory, and gender studies, will be of compelling interest to readers in a wide range of fields." - Roberto Dainotto, Professor of Italian and of Literature, Duke University, USA "This is an important collection of critical essays which engages head-on with the challenging inheritance of colonialism. Today, it is the return of this negated past in representations of race, racism and the much-maligned migrant that poses the principal political challenge of a heterogeneous, postcolonial Italy." - Iain Chambers, Universit degli Studi di Napoli 'L'Orientale,' Italy, "An important contribution to the field of postcolonial studies, this volume offers wide-ranging and provocative analyses of the intricately interconnected legacies of colonialism, emigration, and global migration in Italy.

Synopsis
This volume constitutes a multidisciplinary intervention into the emerging field of postcolonial studies in Italy, bringing together cultural and social history, critical and political theory, literary and cinematic analyses, ethnomusicology and cultural studies, anthropological fieldwork, and race, gender, diaspora, and urban studies., As this groundbreaking volume makes amply clear, the postcolonial condition is one of the most significant factors shaping culture and lived experience in Italy today. The essays gathered here, from leading international scholars in multiple disciplines, do not limit themselves to the relationship between former colonizers and colonized, nor to a rereading of colonial history and culture. Rather, together they map the common postcolonial context in which a wide array of discourses, social practices, and forms of cultural production are challenging the notion of Italy's national homogeneity. Ranging from Italian immigration and the subalternity of the South to the postnational aesthetics of film, literature, and music, they form an indispensable resource for students and scholars in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, European Studies, Diaspora Studies, Race Theory, and a variety of other fields., The postcolonial condition is one of the most significant factors shaping culture and lived experience in Italy today. The essays gathered here explore the postcolonial context in which a wide array of discourses, social practices, and forms of cultural production are challenging the notion of Italy's national homogeneity.
