A Primer of Italian Fascism makes available for the first time in
English translation the key documents pertaining to one of our
century's defining mass political movements. Whereas existing
anthologies survey Fascist writings in a multiplicity of national
settings, A Primer of Italian Fascism opts for a tightly focused,
in-depth approach that emphasizes the development of Fascist
ideology in the country of its birth.
Historically speaking, Italian Fascism was the original Fascism.
The model for subsequent movements including Nazism, Falangism, and
Integralism, Italian Fascism set out to define a "third way" to
modernization, known as "corporatism". A Primer of Italian Fascism
situates the rise and fall of corporatist ideals within the
framework of the actual history of Benito Mussolini's movement and
regime. It includes not only classic doctrinal statements such as
Mussolini's "Foundations and Doctrine of Fascism" and writings by
corporatist theorists such as Giuseppe Bottai, Camillo Pellizzi,
Alfredo Rocco, and Ugo Spirito, but also an array of fundamental
political and juridical documents, including the party platforms
adopted by the Fascist combat brigades, the 1938 Manifesto of Race,
the 1940 Manifesto of Verona, and the Fascist labor and school
charters. By making available such an extensive array of source
texts, A Primer of Italian Fascism aims to open up for the English
reader a more complex and complete vision of Fascism, both in Italy
and beyond.
