Description

Populism in Italy in the 20th Century offers an in-depth analysis of the rise and evolution of populism in Italy during the 20th century, focusing on the pivotal transition from the intellectual currents of early populist thought, exemplified by figures like Giovanni Papini, to the establishment of Benito Mussolini’s Fascist regime. It examines how populist rhetoric and ideology evolved in response to societal, political, and economic upheavals, exploring the intellectual and cultural foundations that shaped the populist narrative. By contextualizing these developments within broader European trends, the book highlights Italy’s unique trajectory, bridging the domains of political theory, history, and cultural studies. It is essential reading for scholars interested in the intersections of populism, nationalism, and authoritarianism, providing nuanced insights into how early 20th-century populist movements paved the way for the totalitarianism that defined much of the century’s political landscape.
