This issue of the Radical History Review offers histories of fascism and antifascism after 1945 to interrogate the ways that fascist ideology continues to circulate and be opposed transnationally despite its supposed death at the end of the Second World War.
Features
Antonino Scalia integrates anti-imperialism into the conversation about antifascism through an analysis of Italian Communist internationalism in the 1960s while Michael Staudenmaier explores the use of fascism in the construction of the Latino/a/x Left in the 1970s. Rosa Hamilton turns to the London Gay Liberation Front in the 1970s and Cole Rizki to post-dictatorship Argentina and the transhistorical alliance between Las Madres and trevestí activism.
