Between 1926 and 1943, the Fascist regime arrested thousands of
Italians and deported them to island internment colonies and small
villages in southern Italy. Ordinary Violence in Mussolini's Italy
analyses this system of political confinement and, more broadly,
its effects on Italian society, revealing the centrality of
political violence to Fascist rule. In doing so, the book shatters
the widely accepted view that the Mussolini regime ruled without a
system of mass repression. The Fascist state ruled Italy violently,
projecting its coercive power deeply and diffusely into society
through confinement, imprisonment, low-level physical assaults,
economic deprivations, intimidation, discrimination and other
quotidian forms of coercion. Moreover, by promoting denunciatory
practices, the regime cemented the loyalties of 'upstanding'
citizens while suppressing opponents, dissenters and social
outsiders. Fascist repression was thus more intense and ideological
than previously thought and even shared some important similarities
with Nazi and Soviet terror.
