Journeys Through Fascism - Italian Travel-Writing Between The Wars

by Charles Burdett

26,43€ + 10% CARD

 <p> During the twenty years of Mussolinis rule a huge number of travel texts were written of journeys made during the interwar period to the sacred sites of Fascist Italy, Mussolinis newly conquered African empire, Spain during the Civil War, Nazi Germany, Communist Russia and the America of the New Deal. Examining these observations by writers and journalists, the author throws new light on the evolving ideology of Fascism, how it was experienced and propagated by prominent figures of the time; how the regime created a utopian vision of the Roman past and the imperial future; and how it interpreted the attractions and dangers of other totalitarian cultures.</p> <p> The book helps gain a better understanding of the evolving concepts of imperialism, which were at the heart of Italian Fascism, and thus shows that travel writing can offer an important contribution to historical analysis.</p>
