'Cooke offers a detailed view of the complicated heritage of the Italian Resistance. In studying the period from 1943 through the current Berlusconi government, the author analyzes the interplay between Italian politics and the cultural baggage of the Resistance (defined as historiography, literary texts, films, monuments, and songs) and shows how perceived present needs often hindered assessments of historical movements. Highly recommended.' - CHOICE 'Philip Cooke's highly original volume is a comprehensive analysis of the legacy of the Italian anti-fascist resistance. . . . It covers an extraordinary amount of ground and the bibliography alone is a mammoth achievement.' - History Today 'An impressive piece of research on one of Italy's most complex and controversial collective memories.' - Memory Studies 'Its final appeal to Italian historians to make the fruits of their labor more accessible to the general public should be embraced. Philip Cooke certainly proves that it can be done in quite an excellent manner.' - H-Soz-u-Kult 'A remarkable service to both scholarly and civic communities. . . . The book will become a necessary reference point for anyone thinking about the Resistance and about modern Italy.' - Robert S. C. Gordon, Reader in Modern Italian Culture, University of Cambridge About the book In this rich and detailed interdisciplinary study, Philip Cooke explores the enduring and contested legacy of the Italian Resistance movement. This book scrutinizes the ambivalent and shifting attitudes toward the movement held by the major Italian political parties and the State, caught up as they were in an ambitious project to build a new nation out of the ruins of Fascism and the Second World War. Using a wide array of texts, Cooke bridges the gap between historical and cultural studies and shows how Italian politics, history, and culture have interacted over the long term. Fusing historical and cultural analysis, this is a unique contribution to our understanding of modern Italy.
