A deeply relevant look at what fascism means to Americans. From the
time Mussolini took power in Italy in 1922, Americans have been
obsessed with and brooded over the meaning of fascism and how it
might migrate to the United States. Fascism Comes to America
examines how we have viewed fascism overseas and its implications
for our own country. Bruce Kuklick explores the rhetoric of
politicians, who have used the language of fascism to smear
opponents, and he looks at the discussions of pundits, the analyses
of academics, and the displays of fascism in popular culture,
including fiction, radio, TV, theater, and film. Kuklick argues
that fascism has little informational meaning in the United States,
but instead, it is used to denigrate or insult. For example, every
political position has been besmirched as fascist. As a result, the
term does not describe a phenomenon so much as it denounces what
one does not like. Finally, in displaying fascism for most
Americans, entertainment-and most importantly film-has been crucial
in conveying to citizens what fascism is about. Fascism Comes to
America has been enhanced by many illustrations that exhibit how
fascism was absorbed into the US public consciousness.
