{"product_id":"enemies-within-franca-iacovetta-9780802082350","title":"Enemies Within: Italian and Other Internees in Canada and Abroad","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the recent campaign led by the National Congress of Italian Canadians to gain redress for compatriots interned during the Second World War, leaders claimed that the Canadian state had waged a 'war against ethnicity.' Their version of history, argue the editors, drew on selective evidence and glossed over the fascist past of some Italian Canadians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editors have assembled scholars who, while having diverse views, seek to stimulate informed debate. \u003cem\u003eEnemies Within\u003c\/em\u003e is the first study of its kind to examine not only the formulation and uneven implementation of internment policy, but the social and gender history of internment. It brings together national and international perspectives. The book offers differing interpretations of Italian internment in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia. It invites comparisons between Italian Canadians and Canada's other internees, including Communists, German Canadians, Ukrainian Canadians and Jewish refugees. Contemporary redress campaigns are examined. Masculinity, female internees, Communist women's release politics, and memory culture are some of the little-studied subjects that also receive attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains photographs never before seen.
