"Ruth Ben-Ghiat's Fascist Modernities: Italy 1922-1945 is among the
very best analyses of Fascist culture in any language. Based on a
truly amazing amount of research, this volume traces the first
stirrings of a generation of Italian writers and film directors who
would pass from Fascism through the Resistance to militancy in the
Communist, Socialist, Action, and Christian Democratic parties and
then beyond into the new Italy of the 'economic
miracle.'"--Alexander De Grand, author of "Bottai e la cultura
fascista
"A superb and original work of scholarship, Fascist Modernities
give us a startling new picture of the Italian fascist period and
its cultural politics, as well as remarkable new analyses of
Italian fascist anti-Semitism and of the relation between Italy's
colonial aspirations and conquests and its modernizing schemes.
Most impressive of all, Ben-Ghiat single-handedly changes our
understanding of the place of realism in Italian literary history
and in twentieth-century cinema."--Barbara Spackman, author of
"Fascist Virilities: Rhetoric, Ideology and Social Fantasy in
Italy
"Ruth Ben-Ghiat's book is an important contribution to the
history of fascist culture, showing the complex ways in which
fascism used intellectuals and intellectuals used
fascism."--Alexander Stille, author of "Benevolence and Betrayal:
Five Italian-Jewish Families Under Fascism
