The Fascist Effect
In The Fascist Effect , Reto Hofmann uncovers the
ideological links that tied Japan to Italy, drawing on extensive
materials from Japanese and Italian archives to shed light on the
formation of fascist history and practice in Japan and beyond.
Moving between personal experiences, diplomatic and cultural
relations, and geopolitical considerations, Hofmann shows that
interwar Japan found in fascism a resource to develop a new order
at a time of capitalist crisis.
Hofmann demonstrates that fascism in Japan was neither a
European import nor a domestic product; it was, rather, the result
of a complex process of global transmission and reformulation. Far
from being a vague term, as postwar historiography has so often
claimed, for Japanese of all backgrounds who came of age from the
1920s to the 1940s, fascism conjured up a set of concrete
associations, including nationalism, leadership, economics, and a
drive toward empire and a new world order.
