Politics & government; Fascism & Nazism

Fascism was a distinct movement in European history that left deep scars across the continent, but the term 'fascist' is now more broadly applied to those on the political right, especially the new populists who have seized power across much of the globe in recent years. Although most far-right populists vocally disavow historic fascism, many critics see worrying parallels with the earlier movement. Could we be witnessing a return to the fascist politics of Mussolini, Franco and Hitler?

Maximiliano Fuentes Codera and Javier Rodrigo have written both an assessment of the current crisis of democracy and a brief history of fascism and far-right populism around the world. By illuminating the historical record, this book will help readers better understand the distinctive, twenty-first-century challenges faced by our democracies.

Reviews for Fascism and the Global Far Right: A Historical View

""This is an essential book for understanding the current anti-democratic turn. Fuentes and Rodrigo provide much-needed historical context to debates over contemporary fascism.""--Federico Finchelstein, New School for Social Research, author of ""The Wannabe Fascists"" ""A timely and much needed sober intervention in the debate about current-day 'fascism' and its historical roots. Fuentes Codera and Rodrigo do an excellent job in dissecting fascism as a historical phenomenon, its post-1945 transformations and current legacies.""--Robert Gerwarth, University College Dublin ""Fascism and the Global Far Right is not a complacent read. The authors have tested, and demolished, some commonplace ideas I had taken for granted."" --Sergio del Molino, journalist and author
