Description:
In four essays, Dickie (Italian studies, U. College London) looks at the centers of power in the newly unified Italy stereotyped people in its southern third as barbarous, primitive, violent, irrational, feminine, and African. He argues that such representation was a foil without which Italians in the north could not have forged a sense of national identity.
