Ordinary violence in Mussolini's Italy analyses this system of political confinement and, more broadly, its effects on Italian society, revealing the centrality of political violence to Fascist rule. In doing so, the book shatters the widely accepted view that the Mussolini regime ruled without a system of mass repression. The Fascist state ruled Italy violently, projecting its coercive power deeply and diffusely into society through confinement, imprisonment, low-level physical assaults, economic deprivations, intimidation, discrimination, and other quotidian forms of coercion. Moreover, by promoting denunciatory practices, the regime cemented the loyalties of "upstanding" citizens while suppressing opponents, dissenters, and social outsiders. Fascist repression was thus more intense and ideological than previously thought and even shared some important similarities with Nazi and Soviet terror"--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Mussolini, Benito, 1883-1945 SUBJECT Mussolini, Benito, 1883-1945 fast Subject Fascism -- Italy -- History -- 20th century Political violence -- Italy -- History -- 20th century Political persecution -- Italy -- History -- 20th century Deportation -- Italy -- History -- 20th century Imprisonment -- Italy -- History -- 20th century State-sponsored terrorism -- Italy -- History -- 20th century POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Political Freedom & Security -- Civil Rights.
