Description

Italy's Southern Question explores one of the most persistent themes in Italian political, economic and cultural discourse. This interdisciplinary work examines how the South became framed as a problem within Italian national identity, tracing its evolution from early conceptualisations through the Cold War era when it justified extensive government intervention. The book addresses the complex legacy of North-South division, from the Lombard League's secessionist appeals to the South's enduring presence in Italian literature and intellectual thought. Combining historical analysis with cultural criticism, the work investigates who defined the Southern Question-intellectuals, statisticians, and other key figures-and how these definitions shaped Italian society, policy and self-perception across generations.

Key Features

Bloomsbury's interdisciplinary study traces the Southern Question across Italian political, economic and cultural history for over a century.

The book examines how Cold War governments used the Southern Question to justify heavy intervention in Italian economic development.

Explores the Lombard League's controversial promise to separate North from South, including secessionist proposals in contemporary Italy.

Analyses the Southern Question as a major theme in Italian literature, revealing its cultural and intellectual significance.

Published by Routledge, offering scholarly expertise in European history, sociology and regional studies.

Investigates which intellectuals, statisticians and leaders shaped the Southern Question narrative and its consequences for Italian identity.
