Fascism : critical concepts in political science
"Fascism: Critical Concepts in Political Science," edited by Roger Griffin and Matthew Feldman, is a comprehensive five-volume collection that delves into the multifaceted nature of fascism. The series is organized into thematic volumes:- **Volume I: The Nature of Fascism** explores various theories and definitions of fascism, examining its emergence as a novel political force in post-World War I Europe.- **Volume II: The Social Dynamics of Fascism** focuses on the social dynamics of fascism, particularly its relationship with capitalism and its role as a reactionary force against communism.- **Volume III: Fascism and Culture** analyzes fascism's relationship with culture, considering whether it opposes or seeks to transform cultural values and institutions.- **Volume IV: The Singularity of Interwar Fascisms** examines individual fascist movements that, unlike Fascism and Nazism, failed to seize state power, highlighting distinctions between these movements and authoritarian conservative regimes.- **Volume V: Postwar Fascism** addresses the evolution of fascism in the post-war period, including neo-Nazism, white noise music, 'black' terrorism, Third Positionism, and the New Right.This collection reflects the extreme multifaceted nature of fascism and the extraordinary divergence of interpretations of this phenomenon. Each volume is introduced by a comprehensive essay by Griffin, providing context and analysis of the included texts. The series is part of Routledge's "Critical Concepts in Political Science" series
