Using the debates over divorce as a lens, this book is a study of the quest to modernize Italy, Italians, and Italian marriage. Although the 1974 referendum settled Italy's ' divorce question, ' the issues at the heart of that question - particularly the relationship between individual rights, the state, and religion - remain central to modern politics. |
