Numbers and Nationhood: Writing Statistics in Nineteenth-Century Italy (Cambridge Studies in Italian History and Culture)
(Numbers and Nationhood explores the rise of statistics as...)
Numbers and Nationhood explores the rise of statistics as a mode of representation in Italian society during the nineteenth century. Silvana Patriarca examines the ideologies that informed numerical productions, and the role that statistics played in generating a national image of Italy that nevertheless accentuated its internal territorial divisions. This innovative study provides a fresh reading of the historiography of Risorgimento Italy, bringing issues of science, ideology and representation to the fore.
