Paul Ginsborg and the Historiography of Modern Italy
This book brings together a group of British and Italian scholars who have made significant contributions to the historiography of modern Italy over the last three decades, dedicated to the influence of Paul Ginsborg. Reflecting Ginsborg's interest in the encounter of social and political history in modern Italy, contributions explore the varied forms taken by activism in civil society. Rather than just treating activism and engagement as limited, circumscribed phenomena within a political system, the essays consider these as interventions in the social. Taken together, the contributions gathered here highlight Ginsborg's contributions to scholarship and activism, as well as advancing our understanding of cultural change, institutional reform and the renewal of community in modern Italian history.
The Partisans and the Unthinkable
There were many unsung heroes of world war two, but none more neglected than the partisans that fought the fascist regimes and German Nazi occupiers under the direst circumstances. By 1940, in every occupied country in Europe there arose a resistance movement that engaged in espionage, disrupted communication lines, damaged railways, blew up bridges, hid and smuggled Jews and other targeted groups out of the country, rescued downed Allied pilots, and all at maximum risk to themselves. This book is a fictional account of a group of determined Slovakian partisans and their heroic struggle the against the fascist regime that had assumed power in 1938, and the German Nazi army that occupied their neighboring countries. They lived in the forests and coped with the harsh freezing winters, were constantly hunted by Nazi patrols, took enormous personal risks during their many raids on enemy supply lines, and yet faced these challenges with indefatigable courage and perseverance. This was a heterogenous group of Jews and non- Jews, disillusioned army officers, and people from all walks of life.
