Abstract

The article "Cinema Is the Strongest Weapon: Race-Making and Resistance in Fascist Italy" by Lorenzo Fabbri delves into the racial logic underlying Mussolini's investment in cinema during the Fascist era. Fabbri's analysis challenges the notion of Fascism as an aberration in Italian history, exploring how cinema was used as a biopolitical tool to shape national identity and control the population. The study examines various filmmakers and their works, highlighting the complex interplay between race, politics, and aesthetics in Italian cinema under Fascism. [Extracted from the article]
