| Summary | Annotation A great deal of effort has been expended by Anglo-American scholars in an attempt to isolate past & contemporary "fascisms," "neofascisms," "cryptofascisms," & "latent" fascisms in the modern world. A. James Gregor's Phoenix: Fascism in Our Time is an insightful history of the intellectual rationale for Benito Mussolini's fascism offered by major Italian intellectuals. The book provides a list of recurrent features that helps to identify the generic phenomenon. This lucid account reviews seriously neglected aspects of intellectual history, describing the socioeconomic & political conditions that precipitate & sustain fascism. Gregor shows that Italian fascism was supported by a responsible & credible rationale. His account of that rationale permits us to understand the appeal fascism as an ideal has exercised over elites & masses in the twentieth century. Gregor offers a credible list of traits in showing how instances of fascism can be identified when they first appear. The last chapters of the work are devoted to a case study of the newly emergent post-Soviet Russian nationalism & its affinities with historic fascism. Gregor discusses the implications of the rise of generic fascism in the former Soviet Union & post-Maoist China. This timely volume offers an alternative to conventional interpretations of the major historical events of the twentieth century. Phoenix is must reading for scholars & policymakers dealing with European history between the two world wars, & will be instructive for anyone interested in the fascist ideology in a new millennium. |
