About this title
"Divided into four major sections devoted to an analysis of politics, economics, society, and mass culture, this volume examines a broad range of subjects such as political institutions, parliament, education, trade unions, women, family, the Church, mass culture and provides a fascinating account of Italy’s overwhelming need for political reform and the repeated failure to achieve it and how Italy has coped or has failed to cope with the challenges of globalization. Mignone illustrates how the decline of Communism and Catholicism and the surge of immigration are shaping a new national identity for the new millennium. Copiously illustrated and enriched with "profiles" on various Italian institutions and "snap-shots" on aspects of Italian life, this fascinating and authoritative work is essential for anyone interested in modern and contemporary Italian society and its culture." Marcello Saija, University of Messina
"A framework that courageously builds up the dynamics that gave impetus to the profound transformation of the country. Readers will find it admirable for its mastery of the material and the sobriety of its judgments." Giuliano Manacorda, University of Rome
