Editorial Reviews

Review

"A welcome contribution to the debate." --Italian Studies

"Each [contributor] brings a new look at the south, and at Italy as a whole, overturning the idea of a single south with a homogenous problem in direct conflict with the north ... the book leads us to a new perspective on the south and offers the necessary mindset to re-evaluate much of what has been held as self-evident truth." --South European Politics and Society

"Italy's 'Southern Question' is a worty addition to the surprisingly limited literature on representations of the Mezzogiorno . . .makes tough new methodical and theoretical demands and opens up many avenues for further investigation." --Modern Italy
