This rare case of eastward Cold War migration demonstrates how ordinary people conceived of liberation during the transitional years between World War II and the early Cold War--a time when Monfalcone was both the object of competing Italian and Yugoslav territorial claims and the subject of Anglo-American military occupation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Red Italians of Monfalcone\u003c\/i\u003e, Luke Gramith undertakes a deep and detailed analysis--based on archival sources in Italy, Slovenia, and the United States--of how the Monfalconesi came to understand fascism and communism through everyday experience, and how those emergent ideologies affected and were affected by their migration. In the course of his analysis, Gramith also examines the failure of \"defascistization\" and how it fueled strong (but ultimately unsuccessful) pro-Yugoslav and communist movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luke Gramith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299356108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299356101\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 05\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Luke Gramith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425674576127,"sku":"9780299356101","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_542bb27d-d43c-4bcd-8ce2-29b8b43ae85c.jpg?v=1761540843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-red-italians-of-monfalcone-luke-gramith-9780299356101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
