From 1930 to 1948 he lectured in History at Harvard University. Salvemini founded the antifascist Mazzini Society in Massachusetts in September 1939. He obtained US citizenship in 1940. Notable writings of the American years are The Fascist Dictatorship in Italy (1928), Under the Axe of Fascism (1936). and Prelude to World War II.
