From the 1920s to the 1950s, fascist visuality in Asia and Europe brought the intimacies of everyday life and the realm of mass spectacle together in a variety of forms. Moving beyond the usual subjects of futurism and Leni Riefenstahl, the volume expands the visual repertoire of the period's politicized visual field as it reintroduces readers to its contested grounds.” -- Vanessa R. Schwartz, Director, Visual Studies Research Institute, University of Southern California\u003cbr\u003e“Unlike so many works that relegate the phenomenon of fascism to a few moments in the past and to an isolated number of usual suspects, this wide-ranging volume focuses on the visual but goes way beyond it to demonstrate that fascism has come in varied but contiguous forms throughout the world—and perhaps as important, threatens to do so again in our time. An absolutely stunning and pathbreaking intervention by leading scholars of fascism and modernity.” -- Takashi Fujitani, author of * Race for Empire: Koreans as Japanese and Japanese as Americans during WWII *\u003cbr\u003e\"The book highlights the saliency of bridging the written and the visual and urges historians not to restrain from enriching their 'historians's craft' by listening to, reading and looking at the silence of images.\" -- Elena Maria Rita Rizzi * European Review of History *\u003cbr\u003e\"The volume has much to offer due to the geographical scope of its case studies.… \u003ci\u003eVisualizing Fascism\u003c\/i\u003e is a welcome addition to the literature, calling for an understanding of fascism as a transnational phenomenon typified by the fluid circulation of fascist ideology and imagery.\" -- Mark Antliff * Journal of Visual Culture *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: A Portable Concept of Fascism \/ Julia Adeney Thomas  1\u003cbr\u003e 1.
