520 |a Under Italian Fascism, African-Italian mulattoes and white Italians living in Egypt posed a particular threat to the pursuit of a homogenous national identity. This book examines novels and films of the period, showing that their attempts at stigmatization were self-undermining, forcing audiences to reassess their collective identity.  |b While less explicitly racist than its Germany Nazi counterpart, Italian Fascism attached considerable importance to racial purity. Fascist Hybridities examines how Italian literature and cinema of the 1930s are traversed by hybrid figures, and how these works ultimately reveal biracial offspring and Levantines as interchangeable characters who, in the historical scenario under which Mussolini's Fascist regime operated, present unique and specific threats to notions of Italian racial and cultural purity. As Rosetta Giuliani-Caponetto shows, that more often than not, the visual and textual presence of mulatto and Levantine characters stoked deep racial and cultural anxieties, forcing their audiences to uncomfortably examine, rather than confirm, their own collective identity. 
520 1 |a "Fascist Hybridities offers a fresh look at the role of racial purity and cultural authenticity in the context of Italian Fascism. Exploring the status of African-Italian mulattoes and Levantines in the literature and cinema of the Mussolini's era, Rosetta Giuliani Caponetto's book powerfully unveils the haunting presence of 'impurity' in modern Italian cultural imagination and national identity. This book is a must read for all lovers of Levantinism and other forms of cultural hybridity!" Gil Z. Hochberg, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature, University of California, Los Angeles, USA "Through detailed analyses of a variety of texts, and drawing on her own life story, Rosetta Giuliani Caponetto argues convincingly that the presence in Italian society of mixed race subjects and the cosmopolitan cultural experience of Italian Levantines in Egypt played significant roles in undercutting the fascist regime's intent to construct a racially and culturally pure Italy. In other words, her study shows how the repercussions of Mussolini's colonial project opened up cracks and fissures that Fascist ideology was unable to cope with."--David Ward, Professor of Italian Studies, Wellesley College, USA.
