Importing Fascism
The Italian Community’s Fascist Experience in Interwar Scotland
About this book
Importing Fascism analyses the mechanisms of the Italian fascist regime in incorporating the Italian-Scottish diaspora into their nation- and fascism-building project via its transnational efforts between the rise of fascism in 1922 and Italy's declaration of war on Britain in June 1940.
Drawing extensively on a range of unpublished Italian and British sources from local and national archives as well as original contemporary press, the book reconstructs minutely the activities of the fasci in Scotland and demonstrates the impact fascism had on forging Italians' community and national identity. Moreover, by shedding light on this largely neglected chapter of the history of fascism and Scotland's Italian diaspora, the monograph offers new points of reflection on long-standing issues of cultural, political, and propaganda activity under the regime.
This volume is ideal for postgraduate students and scholars of fascism, modern Italian and British history, and diaspora studies.
