Vital Subjects examines cultural production--literature, sociology and public health discourse, and early film--from the years between Unification and the end of the First World War (ca. 1860 and 1920) in order to explore how race and colonialism were integral to modern Italian national culture, rather than a marginal afterthought or a Fascist aberration.
