Visualizing Fascism argues that fascism was not merely a domestic
menace in a few European nations, but arose as a genuinely global
phenomenon in the early twentieth century. Contributors use visual
materials to explore fascism's populist appeal in settings around
the world, including China, Japan, South Africa, Slovakia, and
Spain. This visual strategy allows readers to see the transnational
rise of the right as it fed off the agitated energies of modernity
and mobilized shared political and aesthetic tropes. This volume
also considers the postwar aftermath as antifascist art forms were
depoliticized and repurposed in the West. More commonly, analyses
of fascism focus on Italy and Germany alone and on institutions
like fascist parties, but that approach truncates our understanding
of the way fascism was indebted to colonialism and internationalism
with all their attendant grievances and aspirations. Using
photography, graphic arts, architecture, monuments, and film-rather
than written documents alone-produces a portable concept of
fascism, useful for grappling with the upsurge of the global right
a century ago-and today. Contributors. Nadya Bair, Paul D. Barclay,
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Maggie Clinton, Geoff Eley, Lutz Koepnick, Ethan
Mark, Bertrand Metton, Lorena Rizzo, Julia Adeney Thomas, Claire
