Eloquent, pathbreaking, and deft in its use of a broad range of materials, this work argues that fascism appealed to many Italian intellectuals as a new model of modernity that would resolve the contemporary European crisis as well as long-standing problems of the national past. Ben-Ghiat shows that-at a time of fears over the erosion of national and social identities-Mussolini presented fascism as a movement that would allow economic development without harm to social boundaries and national traditions. She demonstrates that although the regime largely failed in its attempts to remake Italians as paragons of a distinctly fascist model of mass society, twenty years of fascism did alter the landscape of Italian cultural life. Among younger intellectuals in particular, the dictatorship left a legacy of practices and attitudes that often continued under different political rubrics after 1945. 410 0$aStudies on the history of society and culture ;$v42. 606 $aFascism and culture$zItaly$xHistory 606 $aFascism$zItaly$xHistory 607 $aItaly$xPolitics and government$y1922-1945 607 $aItaly$xIntellectual life$y20th century 610 $a20th century. 610 $acultural history. 610 $adictatorship. 610 $aeconomic development. 610 $aeurope. 610 $aeuropean history. 610 $afascism. 610 $afascists. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory of culture. 610 $ahistory of society. 610 $ahistory students. 610 $ahuman condition. 610 $ainterwar history. 610 $aitalian cinema. 610 $aitalian culture. 610 $aitaly. 610 $alegacy of fascism. 610 $amodel of modern world. 610 $amodern historians. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amodernity. 610 $amussolini. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anational traditions. 610 $arevolution. 610 $asocial boundaries. 610 $asocial movements. 610 $asocial status. 615 0$aFascism and culture$xHistory. 615 0$aFascism$xHistory. 676 $a945.091 700 $aBen-Ghiat$b Ruth$0167217 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780082803321 996 $aFascist modernities$91232642 997 $aUNINA
