Subject: [BSA-RACE] May 7th How Italians became white: an intersectional analysis of Italians' racial identity

How Italians became white: an intersectional analysis of Italians' racial identity

Gaia Giuliani

Discussant: Nirmal Puwar

Weds May 7th  5-7pm
 NAB 332, Goldsmiths.

This talk will discuss the controversial idea of Italian “whiteness” from Italian Unity to the contemporary moment. The intertwined and continuous re-articulation of the raciaisation of the self and of those defined as Other(s) will be analysed. In Liberal Italy and early Fascism, post-bellum and more recent so-called multicultural Italy, the assignment of a precise colour to the internal, colonial and so-called post-colonial Other implicitly produced the gendered racial identity of the national Self.

Gaia Giuliani is a Visiting Fellow in the Sociology Department at Goldsmiths. She is a research assistant in Political Theory and Colonial and Postcolonial Studies at the University of Bologna. She obtained her doctorate from the University of Torino (2001-2005), and was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Bologna (2007-2009). She has also been Endeavour Research fellow (2009-2010) at the University of Technology Sydney. After her first single-authored book Beyond curiosity: James Mill e la nascita del governo coloniale britannico in India (2008), she recently co-authored Bianco e nero. Storia dell'identità razziale degli italiani (2013) with Cristina Lombardi-Diop (University of Loyola, Chicago, Ill.). Her research includes the contemporary Euro-American debate on race and racism. In 2014 together with 12 Italian scholars, she co-founded the InteRGRace (Interdisciplinary/intersectional research group on race and racisms) at the University of Padua.
