How did Italians living in Britain respond to Mussolini's fascism?
What links did ex-pat fascists forge with the British Right? To
what extent did Italophilia exist in Britain during the Mussolini
years?
"Exporting Fascism addresses these questions, which have long been
ignored by historians. While there is much material available about
Nazi sympathizers in the United Kingdom, there is comparatively
very little about Italophile fascist sympathizers. The author
uncovers the policy of Mussolini's government to transform Italian
communities abroad into 'little Fascist Italies'. Ambassador Dino
Grandi had great success in the fascistization campaign of Italian
emigrants through such means as Italian community newspapers and
fascist summer camps and schools.
The author also examines the links forged between Italian fascism
and the British Right. Specifically, she uncovers the Italophilia
that dominated the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in the first
half of the 1930s, later to be replaced with an admiration for
National Socialism. She also examines the BUF's activities within
Italy, which have thus far remained almost entirely unknown.
"Exporting Fascism sheds new light on a neglected aspect of the
international fascist movement at the dawn of the Second World War.
