Chapter 3 focuses on Louis Adamic’s diasporic politics during World War II. He organized groups of South Slavic ethnics to pressure the US government and citizenry to support Josip Broz Tito’s simultaneous fights against Yugoslavia’s Axis invaders and Serbian Chetniks seeking to reinstall the monarchy. Tito convinced Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs to join the Partisans by resurrecting the promise of Yugoslavism—the idea that South Slavs could create a nation of ethnic and political equals. Adamic saw Tito’s fight against fascists and monarchists as revolutionary pluralism. In addition to the Partisan inspiration, the persistence of Jim Crow, Japanese internment, race riots, and Allied Powers unwillingness to reject colonialism convinced Adamic to argue that only a transnational antifascist alliance could kill fascism and spreading democracy globally.
