Opis

The Fascism Reader is a fascinating and wide-ranging introduction to the complex nature, limits, aspects and dynamics of Fascism as both ideology and practice. The book draws together classic and recent interpretations to trace the development of generic fascism. Exploring fascism in all its manifestations, this book discusses notorious examples such as Hitler's Germany, Mussolini's Italy and Franco's Spain, as well as less familiar regimes including Horthy in Hungary, Salazar's dictatorship in Portugal and the British Union of Fascists. The Fascism Reader explores all the key aspects of fascism including: - the essence and limitations of generic fascism - the intellectual and ideological dimensions of fascism - regimes of fascism as particular models of the exercise of power - fascism and society - from anti-semitism to fascist attitudes to women.
