Opis

How the development of twentieth-century fascism depended on strong civil societies

Recenzje

"This brilliant comparative study of the rise of fascism in Italy, Spain, and Romania brings Tocqueville and Gramsci into a novel and surprising conversation. It will change the way you think about civil society, fascism, and democracy."
-William Sewell, University of Chicago

"Make no mistake, this is much more than comparative fascisms. Dylan Riley not only rethinks and meshes the legacies of Tocqueville, Arendt and Gramsci; he sobers us up to the actual history of civil society and democratisation in continental Europe. This theoretical lesson seems still gravely relevant elsewhere in the world today."
-Georgi M. Derluguian, author of Bourdieu's Secret Admirer in the Caucasus: A World-System Biography

"Dylan Riley's intelligent study succeeds in opening fresh perspectives. His book ought to be read by everyone interested in fascism."
-Robert O. Paxton, New Left Review

"Riley's account of the civic foundations of fascism succeeds not only in throwing new light on old questions, but also in redefining the theoretical parameters for understanding fascism. It will change the way we think about fascism in the future."
-Max Whyte, American Journal of Sociology
