Biography
Marianna Griffini is a Lecturer in International Political Economy at the Department of European and International Studies at King's College London, UK.
‘This is a much-needed, powerful book from Marianna Griffini about the selective and self-absolutory memory that Italy formed about its fascist and colonial past. As a result, the populist radical right thrives in a country that chose to never confront its ghosts, or to even glorify them. A refreshing and timely read, not to be missed.’
