| Title |
The Concept of Italy in Canada and in Italian Canadian Writings from the Eve of Confederation to the Second World War
|
| Abstract |
The author analyzes Canadians' perception of Italy and Italians from the late nineteenth century to the 1930s. Canadian perception varied depending on national and international events of the day. At the end of the nineteenth century, Canadians had hostile feelings towards Italy and Italians, especially Italian immigrants. During the First World War, when Italy was allied with Britain and Canada against Germany, Canadians' negative views changed. The rise of fascism in Italy, and anti-fascist movements, caused mixed reaction during the early 1930s. While many Canadians supported the Fascists' anti-Communist stance, others supported the anti-fascists. Italy's invasion of Ethiopia (1935-36) created in Canada a wave of negative feelings towards fascism and Italy.
