Book Synopsis
Addresses the startling fact that many African American intellectuals in the 1930s sympathized with fascism, seeing in its ideology a means of envisioning new modes of African American political resistance. This book surveys the work and thought of several authors to have an understanding of Depression-era African American literary culture.

Trade Review
Black Fascisms bravely goes against the grain of much received opinion about the main currents in modern African American literature and intellectual history; it has a good story to tell, and it tells it well and convincingly. - Eric Sundquist, UCLA, author of Strangers in the Land: Blacks, Jews, Post-Holocaust America
