Fascism and Anti-fascism since 1945, This issue of Radical History Review offers histories of fascism and anti-fascism after 1945 to interrogate the ways that fascist ideology continues to circulate and be opposed transnationally despite its supposed death at the end of the Second World War. Features Antonino Scalin integrates anti-imperialism into the conversation about anti-fascism through an analysis of Italian Communist internationalism in the 1960s, while Michael Staudenmaier explores the use of fascism in the construction of the Latino/a/x Left in the 1970s. Rosa Hamilton turns to the London Gay Liberation Front in the 1970s and Cole Rizki to post-dictatorship Argentina and the transhistorical alliance between Las Madres and trevestà activism. Benjamin Bland explores the idea of global fascism through the British radical Right's attempted alliance with Qathafi's Libya. (Re)Views Stuart Schrader reviews recent works on anti-fascism, punk music, and Rock Against Racism. Intervention Vivian Shaw explores cultures of antifa in contemporary Japan. Teaching Radical History Giulia Riccò discusses teaching fascism through fiction in the age of Trump. Curated Spaces Jan Descartes, Michele Hardesty, Jen Hoyer, Maggie Schreiner, and Brooke Shuman of the Interference Archive collective share material and reflect on the practices of archiving and displaying anti-fascist objects to various publics.
