This study offers a clear, concise introduction to the Fascist-era
practice, know as confino, of exiling antifascist dissidents to
parts of Italy far from the dissidents' homes, often on islands or
in tiny inland villages. The book is organised in two sections.
Part one provides a case study of the political colony on the
island of Lipari and a historical overview of internal exile. Part
two focuses on representations of confinement in literature and
film. It examines the varieties of self-expression (e.g. memoirs,
letters and literature) used by prisoners to describe their
experiences, investigates how filmmakers interpret these events,
places and people, and explores how film portrays the repression of
homosexuality. A timely examination of the birthplace of European
federalism, the book also contributes to our understanding of the
legacy of confinement from both national and European perspectives.
