Subject: ANN-Lecture Lucy Riall "Garibaldi: The Patriot as Global Hero"
(London, 24 October 2007)
The Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism public
lecture presents a public lecture by Professor Lucy Riall entitled
"Garibaldi: The Patriot as Global Hero". The discussant is Professor
John Breuilly and the chair is Dr Mathias Koenig-Archibugi.
The lecture will take place in the New Theatre, East Building of the
London School of Economics on Wednesday 24 October 2007 from 6:30 to
8:00pm.
Abstract: The Italian revolutionary leader Giuseppe Garibaldi was not
only worshipped as national hero in his country but he was also a hugely
popular global figure in his lifetime - an estimated 500,000 people
turned out to greet him on his arrival in London in 1864. The lecture,
which marks the bicentenary of Garibaldi's birth, examines the
charismatic leader's emergence as global symbol in the context of
nineteenth-century globalization processes, developments in mass media,
and political conflicts.
Lucy Riall is professor of modern European history at Birkbeck College,
University of London, and author of Garibaldi: Invention of an Hero
(Yale University Press 2007). John Breuilly is professor of nationalism
and ethnicity at the LSE.
