Italian Fascism and Anti-Fascism A Critical Anthology

When the historical significance of fascism and anti-fascism is still being debated in Italy and across Europe, this comprehensive anthology offers an unusually wide-ranging collection of Italian-language documents. It effectively in describes and depicts a wide range of voices--political, literary, and popular--that illuminate Italy's social, political, and cultural history. The contributors unveil previously unavailable documents, including letters from women to Mussolini, and antifascist graffiti from a Nazi prison in Rome.
