The essays in this volume address the question: what does it mean
to understand the contemporary moment in light of the 1930s? In the
aftermath of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression,
and facing a dramatic rise of right wing, authoritarian politics
across the globe, the events of the 1930s have acquired a renewed
relevance. Contributions from a diverse, interdisciplinary group of
scholars address the relationship between these historical moments
in various geographical contexts, from Asia-Pacific to Europe to
the Americas, while probing an array of thematic questions-the
meaning of populism and fascism, the contradictions of
constitutional liberalism and "militant democracy," long cycles and
crisis tendencies in capitalism, the gendering and racialization of
right wing movements, and the cultural and class politics of
emancipatory struggles. Uncovering continuity as well as change and
repetition in the midst of transition, Back to the 30s? enriches
our ability to use the past to evaluate the challenges, dangers,
and promises of the present.
