A leading academic exposes the historical and cultural contexts which allow political strongmen to thrive.
This cultural history of Mussolini's dictatorship discusses the meanings of modernity in interwar Italy. The work argues that fascism appealed to many Italian intellectuals as a new model of modernity that would resolve the European crisis as well as long-standing problems of the national past.
Focusing on the intersection of empire, war, and cinema, this gripping account delves into the roles of Italian and international film during periods of dictatorship. It highlights the significant yet often overlooked contributions of filmmakers and their works, providing a compelling narrative that intertwines historical context with the evolution of film as a medium under oppressive regimes. The exploration reveals how cinema reflects and shapes societal dynamics in tumultuous times.
