The Nature of FascismPinter, 1991 - 245 pages There is probably no more debased word in the political lexicon than fascist. Used as a term of abuse or a catch-all description of extreme Right-wing nationalism, it has lost almost all specific meaning. Roger Griffin brings a new analytic perspective to the study of fascism in an historical context that examines the origin of fascism as an ideology and a political system and identifies the particular characters that differentiate fascism from any other political structure. |
