Abstract
Rethinking Fascism and Dictatorship in Europe 1919–1945, edited by Antonio Costa Pinto and Aristotle Kallis
Highlights
Flexible approaches, even with the possibility of ‘jettisoning’ static classifications altogether
It needs hardly to be added that this book became widely referenced for Griffin’s contribution to the hotly contested debate over ‘generic fascism’
There, Griffin proposed his definition of the fascist minimum: ‘Fascism is a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra-nationalism.’[1]. That sentence and its elucidation in the 1990s reinvigorated interest in the subject and divided scholars into ‘Griffinites’, who broadly agreed with his culturalist premise, and a range of sceptics, who were either unconvinced or vehemently disagreed with his single sentence definition
Summary
Flexible approaches, even with the possibility of ‘jettisoning’ static classifications altogether. Antonio Costa Pinto and Aristotle Kallis, ed. Rethinking Fascism and Dictatorship in Europe 1919–1945 (London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2014).
