Corsica’s history, from prehistoric sites to contemporary regional questions
Jean-Pierre Carlucci organizes Corsica’s long history as a chronological survey of the forces that have shaped the Mediterranean island’s identity. The coverage begins with prehistoric settlement and megalithic remains, then moves through Roman rule, feudal power and Genoese control, the Corsican Republic associated with Pascal Paoli, French annexation, and Napoleon Bonaparte’s influence. Later chapters address the World Wars, postwar modernization, and present-day political, cultural, economic, social, and environmental questions. Alongside major events and figures, the book gives sustained attention to regionalism and efforts to maintain Corsican cultural heritage, linking the island’s past with its current debates.
