The Political Legacies of Wartime Resistance: How Local Communities in Italy Keep Anti-fascist Sentiments Alive

“…2 In doing so, we push scholarship on the historical legacy of war beyond the "violent bias" that is common in conflict studies (Arjona and Castilla 2022). Finally, by focusing on contemporary grassroots political processes and less institutionalized politics, we join recent studies (e.g., Osorio, Schubiger, and Weintraub 2021;Lazarev 2019;Arias and Calle 2021;Costalli et al 2024;Charnysh and Riaz 2023;Wayne, Damann, and Fachter 2023) in shifting attention away from the dominant focus on the persistent effects of wartime experiences on electoral and party 2.

We also speak to the literature on the role of elites in supporting or suppressing mass protests (e.g., Mattingly 2020;Robertson 2010) by studying a unique case-post-WWII Polandwhere large numbers of the national elite were externally removed.…”
