Feeding Fascism explores how women negotiated the politics of
Italy’s Fascist regime in their daily lives and how they fed
their families through agricultural and industrial labour. The book
looks at women’s experiences of Fascism by examining the material
world in which they lived in relation to their thoughts, feelings,
and actions. Over the past decade, Diana Garvin has conducted
extensive research in Italian museums, libraries, and archives.
Feeding Fascism includes illustrations of rare cookbooks, kitchen
utensils, cafeteria plans, and culinary propaganda to connect
women’s political beliefs with the places that they lived and
worked and the objects that they owned and borrowed. Garvin draws
on first-hand accounts, such as diaries, work songs, and drawings,
that demonstrate how women and the Fascist state vied for control
over national diet across many manifestations – cooking, feeding,
and eating – to assert and negotiate their authority. Revealing
the national stakes of daily choices, and the fine line between
resistance and consent, Feeding Fascism attests to the power of
food.
