KlappentextFascism is inherently duplicitous, claiming one thing whilst being committed to something else. In examining this dishonesty, it is essential to distinguish between the surface arguments in fascist discourse and the underlying ideological commitments. Analysing contemporary fascism is particularly difficult, since no fascist party admits to being fascist. Drawing on the critical insights of historical and linguistic research, this book offers an original and discerning approach to the critical analysis of fascism. It demonstrates that any understanding of the continuing popularity of fascist political ideology requires interdisciplinary analysis which exposes the multiple layers of meanings within fascist texts and the ways they relate to social and historic context. It is only through contextualisation we can demonstrate that when fascists echo concepts and arguments from mainstream political discourse (eg: British jobs for British workers) they are not being used in the same way.
Zusatztext?Studying the most complex phenomenon of fascism, as a grand narrative, an ideology and a set of material and discursive practices is a most timely endeavor and a big challenge. John Richardson has truly excelled in this difficult task. He deconstructs the history of British fascism, its manifold manifestations and its continuation to this day in extraordinary detail. This is a must-read for anybody who would like to understand the rise of the new radical right in the 21st century.? ?Professor Ruth Wodak, Distinguished Professor and Chair in Discourse Studies, Lancaster University
