Twentieth Century Italy by Jonathan Dunnage

Following a historically chronological approach, and with a clear focus on the marked regional diversity characterising Italy, this volume analyses the impact of social, economic, cultural and political transformation on the lives of Italians. It assesses their living standards, their health and education, their working conditions and their leisure activities. The final part of the book examines contemporary Italian society in the light of the political and moral crisis of the early 1990s.

'The first comprehensive social history of the period to appear in English' 

'Twentieth Century Italy will undoubtedly and deservedly become the first port of call for many undergraduates studying modern Italian social history.'

Nick Carter, De Montfort University

Jonathan Dunnage is a lecturer in the Italian Department (School of European Languages)at the University of Wales, Swansea.
