Fascists

A CEES Book Discussion

Thursday, October 14, 2004
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
6275 Bunche Hall
Los Angeles, CA 90095

The Center for European and Eurasian Studies invites the public to a presentation by Michael Mann, UCLA Professor of  Sociology.  Professor Mann will discuss his recently published book, Fascists (Cambridge University Press, August 2004).  Discussant for the talk will be UCLA History Professor Eugen Weber.

About the book
(from Cambridge University Press):

Fascists presents a new theory of fascism based on intensive analysis of the men and women who became fascists. It covers the six European countries in which fascism became most dominant - Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Spain. It is the most comprehensive analysis of who fascists actually were, what beliefs they held and what actions they committed. The book suggests that fascism was essentially a product of post World War I conditions in Europe and is unlikely to re-appear in its classic garb in the future. Nonetheless, elements of its ideology remain relevant to modern conditions and are now re-appearing, though mainly in different parts of the world.
