This volume brings together leading international experts in politics, discourse, memory, and culture to examine the complex entanglements of populism(s) and fascism(s) in political thought and cultural productions. The starting point is Argentine historian Federico Finchelstein’s assertion that the dynamics of transnational fascism and populist movements become clearer when viewed from the margins. Indeed, it was in Latin America – not Europe – where fascism and populism first intersected, with Argentine Peronism as the paradigmatic case.Building on this perspective, the volume explores Europe’s political and cultural legacy of fascism within the context of globalised mobilities, linking its totalitarian roots to the Latin American genealogies of populism(s). Adopting an interdisciplinary transnational and transhistorical approach, and cultural transfer as a method, it investigates cultural representations and practices that both reflect and challenge the divisive “Us” versus “Them” rhetoric central to fascist and populist discourses. Particular attention is given to how cultural artefacts and practices memorialise, remediate, and oppose narratives of fascism(s) and populism(s), with the assumption that (anti)fascist art and activism still move along transatlantic trajectories.This book will be of interest to researchers of fascism, populism, social and cultural history, European and Latin American history, literature, art, and activism.

"Transatlantic Practices of Fascism(s) and Populism(s) from the Margins is an essential and original collection of essays that examine authoritarian states and populist parties in a transatlantic framework. It broadens and complicates the ways we view the production and circulation of ‘Us’ versus ‘Them’ ideologies that are crucial to the democracy destruction playbook."Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Professor of History and Italian Studies, New York University“A brilliant and timely contribution to the debate over contemporary populist movements of the left and right, which too often remains shackled to the unsurpassable reference point of Nazi Germany. This invaluable, expertly edited, interdisciplinary collection uncovers the historical and ideational connections and transnational cultural practices suffusing the underexplored ‘Latin space’ of southern Europe and Latin America, incubator of modern-day populism. An indispensable guide for anyone seeking to understand—or resist—the trends threatening to transform our age from a postfascist to a prefascist era.”Max Paul Friedman, Professor of History and International Relations, American University, Washington D.C
