Brings together the two fundamental aspects of the Fascist Italian experience: its history and its ideology. This work explains the background of the Fascist movement, revealing in detail its corresponding political nature. It also draws parallels that should force one to reassess the meaning of what it means to be free in America.
Shows the reader how Italian-American identity has evolved though the years, and that there is still no consensus on its definition. This book addresses modern activism as well as the anti-defamation campaign and the Columbus Day controversy.
