PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Deborah Paci teaches Digital Public History at the University of Bologna and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. She is also Research Associate at the Center for Modern and Contemporary Mediterranean of Côte d'Azur University, France, and the Institute of Island Studies of the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. She is the author of Corsica fatal, Malta baluardo di romanità. L’irredentismo fascista nel mare nostrum (1922-1942) (2015) and L’arcipelago della pace. Le isole Åland e il Baltico (XIX-XXI sec.) (2016).
In this fascinating book about the main islands in the Baltic and the Mediterranean, Deborah Paci shows that isola has little to do with isolation despite their shared origin. Rather than being isolated, Sardinia, Corsica, Gotland, Saaremaa, and the other book islands are closely connected in their larger spatial and historical context. * Bo Strath, University of Helsinki, Finland * A superb exercise in comparative imagination and the comparative study of imaginaries, Paci's book enriches island studies with a cultural-political perspective that rejects the lure of geographical determinism in all of its facets. Between the Seas demonstrates that a correct orientation towards islandness is the best antidote towards insularism in both politics and scholarship. * Claudio Fogu, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA *
