Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Feeding Fascism uses food as a lens to examine how women&&&x2019;s efforts to feed their families became politicized under the Italian dictatorship.
MoreLong description:
Feeding Fascism explores how women negotiated the politics of Italy&&&x2019;s Fascist regime in their daily lives and how they fed their families through agricultural and industrial labour. The book looks at women&&&x2019;s experiences of Fascism by examining the material world in which they lived in relation to their thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Over the past decade, Diana Garvin has conducted extensive research in Italian museums, libraries, and archives. Feeding Fascism includes illustrations of rare cookbooks, kitchen utensils, cafeteria plans, and culinary propaganda to connect women&&&x2019;s political beliefs with the places that they lived and worked and the objects that they owned and borrowed. Garvin draws on first-hand accounts, such as diaries, work songs, and drawings, that demonstrate how women and the Fascist state vied for control over national diet across many manifestations ? cooking, feeding, and eating ? to assert and negotiate their authority. Revealing the national stakes of daily choices, and the fine line between resistance and consent, Feeding Fascism attests to the power of food.
Garvin&&&x2019;s book is a fascinating look at how dinner tables, café menus, cookbooks, and kitchen utensils can help us understand the intersection of politics and daily life. In this case, Garvin takes readers on a journey through women&&&x2019;s experiences of Fascism under Benito Mussolini&&&x2019;s regime by exploring their cooking, agricultural labor, and industrial food production in Italy from 1922 through 1945."
