Fascist Italy and the League of Nations, 1922-1935
\"This book analyses the relationship between Fascist Italy and the League of Nations in the interwar years. By uncovering the traces of those Italians working in the organization, this volume investigates Fascist Italy's membership of the League, and explores the dynamics between nationalism and internationalism in Geneva. The relationship between Fascist Italy and the League of Nations was contradictory, shifting from active collaboration to open disagreement. Previous literature has not reflected this oscillation in policy, focusing disproportionally on the problems Italy caused for the League, such as the Ethiopian crisis. Yet Fascist Italy remained in the League for more than fifteen years, and was the third largest power within the institution. How did a Fascist dictatorship fit into an organization espousing principles of liberal internationalism? By using archival sources from four countries, Elisabetta Tollardo shows that Fascist Italy was much more concerned with, and involved in, the League than currently believed\"--Bcak cover.

The Venetian Ghetto and modern Jewish identity
Bassi discusses the hidden and marginalized narratives of the Venetian Gheto and its relevance to the Jewish identity and the future of the Venetian Jews. The symbolic primacy of the Ghetto is demonstrated by the rapid trademarking of its name all over Italy and Europe; its clear topographical structure facilitates a strict regulation of the Jewish population restricted to living there. Constrained within the narrow limits of an island, surrounded by water, a safe haven for refugees, multiethnic and multilingual, the Ghetto turns out to be a perfect microcosm of Venice.
