Has fascism arrived in America? In this pioneering book, Gavriel D.
Rosenfeld and Janet Ward have gathered experts to survey the
history of fascism in the United States. Although the US
established a staunch anti-fascist reputation by defeating the Axis
powers in World War II, the unsettling truth is that fascist ideas
have long been present within American society. Since the election
of Donald Trump as President in 2016, scholars have debated whether
Trumpism should be seen as an outgrowth of American conservatism or
of a darker – and potentially fascist – tradition. Fascism in
America contributes to this debate by examining the activities of
interwar right-wing groups like the Silver Shirts, the KKK, and the
America First movement, as well as the post-war rise of Black
antifascism and white vigilantism, the representation of American
Nazis in popular culture, and policy options for combating
right-wing extremism.
