Abstract

This contribution reviews Identita, migrazioni e postcolonialismo in Italia. A partire da Edward Said , a collection of essays edited by Bruno Brunetti and Roberto Derobertis, showing its topicality for contemporary cultural studies in Italy. By framing it in the wider debate on postcolonial or migrant writing in Italian, the review intends to assess how this volume starts from the legacy of Edward Said’s thought to offer some valuable insights on cultural criticism and the role of intellectuals in contemporary Italy.
