According to
publisher's response

In the long nineteenth century, dominant stereotypes presented people of the Mediterranean South as particularly passionate and unruly, therefore incapable of adapting to the moral and political duties imposed by European civilization and modernity. This book studies, for the first time in comparative perspective, the gender dimension of a process that legitimised internal hierarchies between North and South in the continent. It also analyses how this phenomenon was responded to from Spain and Italy, pointing to the similarities and differences between both countries.

En el largo siglo XIX, los estereotipos dominantes presentaban a los pueblos del Sur mediterráneo como particularmente apasionados y revoltosos, incapaces por tanto de adaptarse a los deberes morales y políticos impuestos por la civilización y la modernidad europeas. Este libro estudia, por primera vez en perspectiva comparada, la dimensión de género de un proceso que legitimó las jerarquías internas entre Norte y Sur en el continente. También analiza cómo se respondió a este fenómeno desde España e Italia, señalando las similitudes y diferencias entre ambos países.
