This volume makes available for the first in English an edited and annotated volume of Consolo's short stories, essays, and other writings pertaining to the diverse cultures and histories of Sicily and the Mediterranean basin.The Mediterranean region holds a particular fascination for Consolo, who seeks through his writing to recover the memory of a Sicilian and Mediterranean history, which he feels is presently being threatened by the forces of late-capitalist Western culture. His writings about the region also voice a commitment to questions of ethics and human rights, which have been brought to the fore by recent tensions dividing this area and forcing a mass exodus of its people. At a time when this part of the world is under threat from unbridled globalization as well as dangerous forms of ethnic and religious fundamentalism, Consolo's words offer an insightful rethinking of regionalism within a global hierarchy of values. They remind us of the necessity of moderation and contingency, and in so doing, attempt to recover a moral and ethical dimension for our collective life. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 607 $aMediterranean Region$xCivilization 607 $aSicily (Italy)$xCivilization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 676 $a909/.09822 700 $aConsolo$b Vincenzo$f1933-2012,$0261944 702 $aBouchard$b Norma$f1960- 702 $aLollini$b Massimo$f1954- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456364703321 996 $aReading and writing the Mediterranean$92221461 997 $aUNINA
