About this book
This book provides a comparative study of fascisms and reactionary nationalisms. It presents these as transnational political cultures and examines the dictatorships and regimes in which these cultures played significant roles. The book is organised into three main sections, focusing on nationalists, fascists and dictatorships in turn. The chapters range across French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German experiences, and include a broader overview of the political cultures in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Latin America. The chapters consider the identities, organizations and evolution of the various cultures and specific political movements, alongside the intersections between these movements and how they adapted to changing contexts. By doing so, the book offers a global view of fascisms and reactionary nationalisms, and promotes debate around these political cultures.
Reviews
“Reactionary nationalism, fascism and right wing dictatorships are historical phenomena, each with their own individuality, and none of them has the attribute of eternity or eternal return. To understand them in their own context and the various relationships between them, the book takes a comparative approach. Comparative history, warned Marc Bloch, one of its founders, is useful if it studies the differences more than the similarities. This book proposes comparative history at its best.” (Emilio Gentile, Professor Emeritus, University of Rome, Italy)
“By taking seriously ultra-nationalistic conservative ideologies of the past, this gem of a book comes at a time when the world seems overwhelmed by populist leaders.” (Marc Olivier Baruch, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), France)
