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.
