Instead of a \"honeymoon,\" the Allied–Italian encounter in cities such as Naples and Rome appeared to be a lurid affair, where the black market reigned supreme and prostitution was the norm. \u003cbr\u003e Informed by the historical context as well as by their respective traditions, these texts become more than mirrors of the encounter or generic allegories. Instead, they are sites in which to explore repressed traumas that inform how the occupation unfolded and is remembered, including the Holocaust, the American Civil War, and European colonialism, as well as individual traumatic events like the massacre of the Fosse Ardeatine and the mass civilian rape near Rome by colonial soldiers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface\u003c\/b\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e Redeeming Destination Italy: \u003ci\u003eA Guide to the Occupation \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eof Enemy Territory\u003c\/i\u003e   17\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e \"Liberated\" Rome beyond Redemption: Roberto Rossellini's\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePaisà\u003c\/i\u003e and Alfred Hayes's \u003ci\u003eAll Thy Conquests\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Girl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eon the Via Flaminia\u003c\/i\u003e   42\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e Happily Ever after Redemption: Luciana Peverelli's\u003cbr\u003e \"True\" Romance Novels of Occupied Rome   66\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e A Queer Redemption: John Horne Burns's \u003ci\u003eThe Gallery\u003c\/i\u003e   91\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e Sleights of Hand, Black Skin, and the Redemption of\u003cbr\u003e Curzio Malaparte's\u003ci\u003e La pelle  \u003c\/i\u003e 111\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6\u003c\/b\u003e The Redemption of Saint Paul: Norman Lewis's Naples \u003ci\u003e'44  \u003c\/i\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/b\u003e   153\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/b\u003e   163\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e   167\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWorks\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eCited\u003c\/b\u003e   213\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIndex\u003c\/b\u003e   231\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580354982168,"sku":"9780823284498","price":29.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/allied-encounters-the-gendered-redemption-of-world-war-ii-italy-paperback-softback-9780823284498","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
