Can the investigation of how and why fascism initially emerged, of the forces that gave it sustenance and ensured its victory, help in understanding the nature of the contemporary tendencies? Though different in important ways from the period in which fascism first gained ascendancy, the contemporary world nevertheless shares many of the features that initially provided fascism with its raison d'être. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Reader offers a selection of writings from the postwar and inter-war period by left-wing scholars, political figures and critics of culture with the hope of encouraging reflection and debate. The predominant focus is on German Fascism, but the selection includes pieces on Italy, Hungary, postwar America. It attempts to give an account of the major issues in Marxist debates on Fascism and to also provide a sense of the changing political pressures and constraints in which these debates took place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABBREVIATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMARGIT KOVES AND SHASWATI MAZUMDAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSection One\u003cbr\u003eTowards a Marxist Theory of Fascism and National Socialism: A Report on Developments in West Germany\u003cbr\u003e‘Holocaust’-Research in Germany: From 1945 to the Goldhagen Debate \u003cbr\u003eEconomy and Politics in the Destruction of the Weimar Republic\u003cbr\u003eTerror and Demagoguery in the Consolidation of the Fascist Dictatorship in Germany, 1933-34\u003cbr\u003eIntention and Explanation: A Current Controversy About the Interpretation of National Socialism\u003cbr\u003eThe Fascism of Our Times\u003cbr\u003eOn Fascism\u003cbr\u003eThe Struggle Against Fascism\u003cbr\u003eOn the Question of Fascism\u003cbr\u003eOn Fascism\u003cbr\u003eBlum-Theses\u003cbr\u003eThe Working Class Against Fascism\u003cbr\u003eFascism Against the Working Class\u003cbr\u003eSection Three\u003cbr\u003eSummary Transition: Non-Contemporaneity and Obligation to Its Dialectic\u003cbr\u003eThe Fascist Falsification of Goethe\u003cbr\u003eA Necessary Observation on the Struggle Against Barbarism\u003cbr\u003eBrief Chronology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE AUTHORS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Margit Koves \/ LeftWord \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153600803184,"sku":"18140","price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/18140.jpg?v=1793911464","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/resistible-rise-a-fascism-reader","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
