Beskrivning
Between 1946 and 1948, roughly 5,000 ethnic Italians from the northern Adriatic shipbuilding town of Monfalcone relocated to the newly communist Yugoslavia. This rare case of eastward Cold War migration demonstrates how ordinary people conceived of liberation during the transitional years between World War II and the early Cold War—a time when Monfalcone was both the object of competing Italian and Yugoslav territorial claims and the subject of Anglo-American military occupation. In The Red Italians of Monfalcone, Luke Gramith undertakes a deep and detailed analysis—based on archival sources in Italy, Slovenia, and the United States—of how the Monfalconesi came to understand fascism and communism through everyday experience, and how those emergent ideologies affected and were affected by their migration. In the course of his analysis, Gramith also examines the failure of “defascistization” and how it fueled strong (but ultimately unsuccessful) pro-Yugoslav and communist movements.

"An extraordinary, unique, and impressively informative contribution. . . . A seminal and groundbreaking study." - (Midwest Book Review)“An original study, methodologically and historiographically, based on extensive and impressive primary research.” - John Foot, author of Blood and Power: The Rise and Fall of Italian Fascism “Enriches a page of Cold War history on the southeastern borders of Europe. A multiethnic, working-class harbor, Monfalcone soon became an antifascist town and a communist bastion troubled by internal political conflicts and marked by Italian exodus and counterexodus. With an innovative approach to archives and oral history, Gramith writes a new chapter of the long-standing Adriatic question.” - Patrizia Dogliani, Historian, University of Bologna
