The culmination of George L. Mosse's groundbreaking work on fascism from its origins through the twentieth century, with a new critical introduction by historian Roger Griffin. The volume covers a broad spectrum of topics related to cultural interpretations of fascism as a means to define and understand it as a popular phenomenon on its own terms.

This new edition revisits the renowned historian George L. Mosse's landmark work exploring the ideological foundations of Nazism in Germany. First published in 1964, this volume was among the first to examine the intellectual origins of the Third Reich.

Exploring a pivotal period in German history, the book examines how intellectuals from both the left and right sought to create a "third force" to address societal issues, moving beyond communism and capitalism. This ideological shift significantly influenced the political landscape, leading to a disconnect between left-wing efforts and reality, while the right ultimately found its desired force in fascism. Mosse’s analysis highlights the profound implications of these developments on German history during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Mosse offers a comprehensive analysis of the complex and contradictory interactions of nationalism and Judaism during the last two centuries.

Synthesizing historian Mosse's (1918-99) life-long efforts to understand the nature of fascism, contains ten essays originally published between 1961 and 1996. He approaches the movement as a cultural phenomenon, and investigates how it and its adherents saw it and themselves. Among his subjects are fascist aesthetics, the French Revolution, fascism and the Intellectuals, the occult origins of National Socialism, and homosexuality and French fascism.

Book by George L. Mosse

Der weltbekannte amerikanische Historiker George L. Mosse weist in diesem Buch - einem Standardwerk, das seit 1978 immer wieder aufgelegt wird - nach, dass der Rassismus keinen Seitenerscheinung, sondern ein grundlegendes Element der europäischen Kulturentwicklung gewesen ist: Der moderne Rassismus entspringt denselben Quellen, die auch die Grundströmungen moderner europäischer Kultur gespeist haben: Aufklärung und Pietismus, Rationalismus und Romantik. Mosse stellt die Geschichte des Rassismus in den Zusammenhang mit der europäischen Geschichte. Indem er die einzelnen Entwicklungsphasen beschreibt, kann er zeigen, wie und warum rassistisches Denken in alle gesellschaftlichen Bereiche, v. a. in die Wissenschaften, eindringen konnte. Der Autor untersucht außerdem die wechselseitigen Beziehungen zwischen Rationalsimus und Christentum sowie den Verfall der humanistischen Tradition in Europa. Schließlich setzt er sich mit der Herausbildung von Stereotypen wie der „überlegenen“ und „minderwertigen“ Rasse auseinander, die am Ende zur „Endlösung der Judenfrage“ durch die Nationalsozialisten geführt hat.
