How might histories of fascism in interwar Europe help us today? According to this essay by historian Geoff Eley, professor of Contemporary History at the University of Michigan, “languages of ‘fascism’ are now constantly in play, but rarely as carefully informed argument.” Click here to read Geoff Eley’s essay in the latest issue of the History Worshop Journal
According to Eley, for effective politics, we need historically grounded analysis that can avert tendentious and direct linkages that may be emotionally satisfying, but stop short of showing how fascism builds its appeal. What makes it seem a desirable ‘extra-systemic’ solution, as an alternative to the practices of democratic constitutionalism? What kind of crisis brings fascism onto the agenda? These and other issues are addressed in this essay.
