Abstract: "Collects the papers presented at a conference on the influence of Garibaldi's ideas and actions on movements of independence in different countries all over the world. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is a historical approach dealing with the international idea of democracy in the nineteenth century; the second part analyzes from different points of view the creation of the myth of Garibaldi; the third part shows how the symbolical projection of the hero finds expression in literature, journalism and in the movies. The essays in this volume are addressed to scholars of the history of the Italian Risorgimento as well as to all those who are interested in intercultural relationships from an interdisciplinary perspective."--Page 4 of cover.
