This book explores the connections between the present, colonial past, and migration in contemporary Italian culture and literature, arguing that a postcolonial perspective is essential to understanding Italian national identity and resistance to immigration.

This book makes a compelling case for the significance of adopting a postcolonial lens when examining contemporary Italian culture and literature. Originally released in Italian in 2018 as Riscrivere la nazione: La letteratura italiana postcoloniale, this new English translation sheds light on the intricate connections between the present, the colonial past, and the significant historical tides of international and intra-national migration. Through this exploration, the book reveals how a sense of Italian national identity has, at least in part, emerged as a consequence of diverse migrations, and it explores the compelling resistance in Italy to extending the privilege of Italianità , or Italianness, to recent immigrants.
By delving into over 100 texts authored by migrant and second-generation writers, the book adopts an intersectional approach to understanding gender and race in Italian identity. It weaves these literary and cultural contexts with the Italian colonial past, while also casting a broader gaze towards a more diffuse postcolonial condition in Europe.
This book offers a rich and nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between migration, identity, and culture, providing valuable insights into the evolving landscape of Italian society. Its translation into English makes it accessible to a wider audience, fostering a deeper appreciation of the rich tapestry of Italian culture and literature.
