Abstract
This article argues that two distinctive varieties of antifascism took shape in the 1930s and endured through the late 1970s. These two varieties-Popular Front antifascism and anti-imperial antifascism-were in dialogue but in opposition to one another, and both were transnational mobilizing ideologies. Investigating these two antifascist movements allows us to place Europe in the wider world and demonstrate how anti-imperial activists of color simultaneously "provincialized" Europe and situated it within a global framework. The effort also highlights the need to rethink the history of the European Left through the framework of antifascism.
期刊介绍:
Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture.
