His investigation of the beliefs and mind-sets of Europe's political fringe has largely focused on anarchist and far-left groups, but in Sacrifice he turns his inquiry to the rapidly expanding neofascist movement. He joined local groups of a neofascist organization he names Sacrifice in two neighboring cities with very different political cultures. In this gripping, "insider" book, which features dialogues with various militia members, Orsini shows how fascists live day to day, how they understand their world, and how they build a parallel universe in which the correctness and probity of their attitudes are clear. Orsini describes the long, troubled process by which these two groups slowly accepted him as an investigatoractivist and later expelled him for his ideologically uncommitted stance and refusal to subject his observations to censorship. His activities as a fascist were often mundane: leafleting, distributing food parcels to the indigent, and attending public rallies. In Sacrifice, Orsini describes from within the masculine ethos of the militias, the groups' relations with local police and politicians, and the central role of violence and anticommunist actions in building a sense of fascist community. 606 $aFascists$zItaly$xSocial conditions$y21st century 606 $aMilitia movements$zItaly$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aFascism$zItaly$y1945- 606 $aEthnology$zItaly 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFascists$xSocial conditions 615 0$aMilitia movements$xHistory 615 0$aFascism 615 0$aEthnology 676 $a320.53/30945 700 $aOrsini$b Alessandro$f1975-$0328972 702 $aNodes$b Sarah Jane 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467340703321 996 $aSacrifice$92444519 997 $aUNINA
