NCGS Seminar: Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Global Perspective: A Roundtable Discussion
November 12, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The electoral success of rightwing populist parties in major democracies has sparked an international discussion about the efficacy of “fascism” as an analytical framework. Do analogies with early- and mid-twentieth-century fascist movements and governments make sense today? What attributes, if any, do they share today and with historical fascism? To date, the German and Italian “models” have dominated the discussion about “strongmen” and authoritarianism. This roundtable takes a global perspective by posing these questions in relation to India, Brazil, Poland, and Germany.
Welcome and Moderation: THOMAS PEGELOW KAPLAN I Levine Distinguished Professor of Judaic, Holocaust and Peace Studies, Appalachian State University, Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies
