What is fascism in the twenty first century?
Enzo Traverso is the Susan and Barton Winokur Professor in the Humanities at Cornell University. His publications, all translated into various languages, include more than ten authored and edited books, including The Marxists and the Jewish Question, The Jews and Germany, Understanding the Nazi Genocide, The Origins of Nazi Violence, Fire and Blood: The European Civil War, 1914–1945 and Left-Wing Melancholia: Marxism, History, and Memory.
(Praise for Fire and Blood) Enzo Traverso’s provocative book poses
a profoundly important question to modern history. How can we
understand the “age of extremes” (1914 to 1945) from a present –
our present day in the west – that is in general terms allergic to
“ideology” and convinced that “there is no alternative”? What
happens when an anodyne and self-satisfied liberalism projects its
values back into an earlier era of intense political struggle?
