This path-breaking volume addresses the postcolonial condition as one of the main factors that affects lives and shapes cultures in contemporary Italy. The collection identifies the common, postcolonial context in which a wide array of discourses, social practices, and cultural production are finding expression in the peninsula. The innovative approach of the book is not limited to the exploration of the relationship between former colonizers and colonized, nor is it confined to a rereading of colonial history and culture; rather, it considers how the postcolonial paradigm formulates new epistemologies, while at the same time examining the relationships of power created by colonialism and reproduced and reinforced in contemporary postcolonial societies.
