Why is it important?
This paper contributes to the small but steadily growing literature on the relationship between fascism and Empire. Despite the obvious imperial obsessions of British fascism, this relationship has often been overlooked both by historians of fascism and historians of Empire/imperialism.
Perspectives
I hope this article helps other scholars studying fascism or Empire to understand why and how British fascists utilised the ideological legacy of British imperialism.
