{"product_id":"ghosts-of-fascism-simon-levis-sullam-9780299358105","title":"Ghosts of Fascism: Italian Intellectuals After Mussolini","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile public intellectuals are typically thought of as inherently nonconformist and critical of established power, in practice many adapt themselves to the views of the majority--particularly in the context of repressive governments and dictatorships. When the political winds change, such figures often refashion themselves to fit the new paradigm. \u003ci\u003eGhosts of Fascism\u003c\/i\u003e follows the trajectories of four major Italian intellectuals who, despite their passivity and at times collaboration with Fascist institutions, became some of postwar Italy's iconic anti-Fascists: Federico Chabod, a prominent historian who would join the Resistance; the jurist Piero Calamandrei, who later participated in drafting the Italian democratic constitution; the influential literary critic Luigi Russo, who presided over the prestigious Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa; and Alberto Moravia, the internationally renowned novelist. Simon Levis Sullam weaves together their histories to show how postwar Italian intellectuals quietly revised their previous political positions, redefining themselves--and their recent pasts, together with that of the entire nation--as consistently anti-Fascist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Levis Sullam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299358100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299358105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Simon Levis Sullam","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097266364671,"sku":"9780299358105","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghosts-of-fascism-simon-levis-sullam-9780299358105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
