Mussolini and the Jews: What Inspired Fascist Anti-Semitic Policy in Italy?
No full textHistorically, Italy was considered among the least anti-Semitic states in Europe. Early in his rule, Benito Mussolini was clear in his aversion to anti-Semitism when he declared that there was no Jewish question and opposed the idea of biological racism promoted by the Nazi Party. He widely regarded Jews as being amiable, and worked closely with them in the Fascist party. However, throughout the course of his dictatorship, his treatment and rhetoric concerning the Jewish people drastically changed. This paper examines the history and transformation of Mussolini’s policies toward Italy’s Jewish population. Further discussed are Il Duce’s imperialistic vision and its effect on his racial laws. This paper de-emphasizes the alliance with Nazi Germany as a factor, maintaining that Mussolini’s imperialistic agenda, not influence from Hitler, fuelled the shift toward anti-Semitic policies in Italy

Becoming Garden
No full textThis paper is composed of a series of moments that evolved from an inquiry with our community garden plot. This inquiry involved children’s, educators’, and families’ experimentations and processes of “coming to know” the garden. We attempt to grapple with the messiness of a “garden” and the assemblages and binaries that exist within it. We experiment with sitting in our garden as a space not yet defined. Through this process, we found that a community garden is open to a plurality of possibilities. This entangled process of coming to know speaks to the imaginary and involves layers of touching, hearing, seeing, drawing, talking, writing, and storying our garden
