This collection of essays contains the first-ever English translation of Arthur Rosenberg's fascinating analysis of the emergence of fascism in Europe, as well as a short introduction to the essay that explains its significance, and then four contributions that extend the framework to India - dealing in turn with Savarkar and the politics of the Hindu Mahasabha (Srinivasan), communalism as the Indian version of fascism and its roots in the majoritarian ideologies of the nation-state (Simeon), and the fascism of the Sangh Parivar as this had emerged by the early '90s when concerted communal mobilisations unleashed a spate of violence, foreshadowing the even more horrific events of 2002 (Sumit Sarkar). Unlike most left-wing theories of fascism, Rosenberg's work made the mass base of fascism central to its political success. But what does it mean for fascism to have a \"mass base\"? And how does it construct one? The concluding chapter explores the notion of \"passive complicity\", using ideas developed by Jean-Paul Sartre in his major work Critique of Dialectical Reason, and then turns to a characterisation of the Extreme Right in India by looking at the strategies at work in the subversion of Indian democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jairus Banaji (Editor)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9383968125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789383968121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Three Essays Collective\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.55d","brand":"Jairus Banaji (Editor)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078927216895,"sku":"9789383968121","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e221ec70-c46b-4d07-9376-aedfa96caa86.jpg?v=1685478323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fascism-jairus-banaji-editor-9789383968121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
