Italian Immigration to Ecuador in the 1930s and 1940s

In this essay the author analyzes the period of the 1930s and 1940s. It was marked by the advance of Fascism and World War II and their consequences on the Italians in Ecuador. The analysis takes into account the settlement projects in the Andean country by Italy, the progressive alignment of Ecuador to the hemispheric defense policy, the promulgation of racial laws and Jewish immigration in Quito, as well as the inclusion of the Italians in the U.S. blacklist.
