Considering the timeframe between 2013 and 2021, this book suggests that the contemporary Italian populist radical right selectively shaped its memory of the colonial past, expunging the most difficult aspects from it. The fact that the Italian populist radical right parties examined do not fully acknowledge the controversial aspects of Italy’s colonial past, which are bracketed off discourse, may contribute to the deployment of colonial discourse by these same parties when discussing immigration. From this Italian case study, broader implications can be drawn regarding the role of colonial memory in political discourse, which is a topical matter across Europe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to those studying populism, the radical right, Italian politics and history, colonialism, and the politics of memory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50082981904728,"sku":"9781032180434","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-politics-of-memory-in-the-italian-populist-radical-right-from-mare-nostrum-to-mare-vostrum","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
