This lively collection of essays presents a range of innovative
research on the history of the private sphere in Liberal and
Fascist Italy, with a particular focus on sexuality, gender and
race - all aspects which have received scarce attention in much of
the existing historiography. It includes articles on foundlings and
their mothers, the role of midwives, changing attitudes to
sexuality, adultery trials, the Fascist persecution of homosexuals,
debates about divorce and (going beyond Italy to its empire) the
treatment of mixed race children and their mothers in Eritrea. Key
themes of this collection include the contrasting attitudes of the
Liberal and Fascist governments to the role of the state in the
private sphere, the influence of the Church and the impact of new
'scientific' and medical approaches to maternity, sexuality and
demography.
