Abstract

Rome-based scholar Emilio Iodice examines the circumstances that precipitated the rise of dictator Benito Mussolini in 1920s’ Italy – xenophobia, cultural bigotry, harsh governing measures, a condemned media – and draws the conclusion that some of those same hallmark characteristics of that particular authoritarian government appear to exist in other parts of the world currently.
