Reviews for Italy and the Mediterranean: Words, Sounds, and Images of the Post-Cold War Era (Italian and Italian American Studies)
“The book is both ambitious and meticulously researched and, insofar as it invites us to rethink the place of Italy in relation not only to the Mediterranean region but also to Europe and the rest of the world, it represents a timely critical contribution to the field of contemporary Italian studies.” (Nick Dines, H-SAE, H-Net Reviews, April,2018)
