Perpetrated by members of the militant left group Potere Operaio, this was the first attack on a domestic space during Italy’s Years of Lead. Through analysis of media coverage, books, and social media; observation of commemoration ceremonies; visits to sites of memory; and oral history interviews conducted by the author, \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eThe Politics of Sacrifice \u003c\/em\u003e\n                                        argues that memory of the Rogo di Primavalle has been instrumentalised by neo-fascist groups over the past 50 years. Drawing on contemporary theoretical debates relating to public and private memories, King connects the construction of a narrative of sacrifice to challenges faced by the institutional far right from the time of the Movimento Sociale Italiano in the 1970s, Alleanza Nazionale in the mid-1990s, and Fratelli d’Italia today. With the far right on the rise in Italy and abroad, the book identifies the characteristics of remembering that define far-right memory culture and investigates the role of memory in building support for the far right over time.\n                \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eWinner of the 2024 Book Prize – First Book (Ex-Aequo) awarded by The American Association for Italian Studies for its outstanding contribution to Italian Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                 \n            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783031455520\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRemembering Italy's Rogo di Primavalle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783031455490\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRemembering Italy's Rogo di Primavalle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783031455520","offer_id":54294440313157,"sku":"9783031455520","price":128.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover - 9783031455490","offer_id":47661629047109,"sku":"9783031455490","price":128.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/ed427c0b-5673-4b87-ae13-47f599bf3a53.jpg?v=1775880852","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-politics-of-sacrifice-von-amy-king","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
