In "The Nature of Fascism," Roger Griffin locates the driving force of fascism in a distinctive form of utopian myth--that of the regenerated national community, destined to rise up from the ashes of a decadent society. Griffin's analysis reveals the revolutionary thrust and inner coherence of fascism's basic ideological axioms, which have all too often been dismissed as simply reactionary, irrational, or nihilistic. At the same time, he demonstrates its failure as a blueprint for the creation of the "New Order" and "New Man" to which it aspires.
This comprehensive study, which draws on political, social and psychological theory, has been established among experts as one of the most important contributions to the understanding of generic fascism. Griffin examines the structural affinity which relates fascism to Nazism and to the myriad movements which surfaced in inter-war Europe and elsewhere, and traces the unabated proliferation of virulent, but successfully marginalized, fascist activism since 1945. Now available in paperback from Routledge, "The Nature of Fascism" has been revised to meet the needs of readers interested in the history and theory of fascist movements.
Industry Reviews
This is an excellent book. Ambitious in scope, though the author is commendably modest in his pretensions, it sets out to provide a new definition of fascism as a generic term. . . . the arguments are invariably stimulating, the insights perceptive. Griffin has an enviable grasp of the literature and discusses all the major issues of fascist historiography in the light of his own theory. Last but not least, he writes with admirable lucidity and lightness of touch. His book succeeds in its aim of being of use to the specialist and student/general reader alike.
