During the 20th century, Italy experienced some regrettable political developments. It was the first European nation after World War I in which a mass militia-party of revolutionary nationalism achieved power and abolished parliamentary democracy with the goal of building a totalitarian state. It was also the first in Europe to institutionalize the sacralization of politics and to celebrate officially the cult of the leader as a demi-God. These achievements were not accidents. Since the beginning of the 20th century, Italian nationalist movements, from the national radicalism of La Voce to futurist nationalism and fascism, fostered one of the strongest waves of European right-wing radicalism.The confrontation between nationalism and modernity is one of the main keys to understanding to the permutations of Italian radical nationalism from modernist avant-gardes up to the fascist regime. This book analyzes the ideological undercurrents and cultural myths that unite all these movements. Looking at Italian nationalism from its risorgimento roots to the neo-fascist heritage, Gentile considers the relationship between myth and organization in the making of the fascist state, the role of the party, the liturgy of mass politics in Italy, the fascist organizations abroad, and the attitude of fascist culture toward the United States.

La Grande Italia traces the history of the myth of the nation in Italy along the curve of its rise and fall throughout the twentieth century. Starting with the festivities for the fiftieth anniversary of the unification of Italy in 1911 and ending with the centennial celebrations of 1961, Emilio Gentile describes a dense sequence of events: from victorious Italian participation in World War I through the rise and triumph of Fascism to Italy's transition to a republic.Gentile's definition of 'Italians' encompasses the whole range of political, cultural, and social actors: Liberals and Catholics, Monarchists and Republicans, Fascists and Socialists. ""La Grande Italia"" presents a sweeping study of the development of Italian national identity in all its incarnations throughout the twentieth century.This important contribution to the study of modern Italian nationalism and the ambition to achieve a 'great Italy' between the unification of Italy and the advent of the Italian Republic will appeal to anyone interested in modern European history, Fascism, and nationalism.

In 1933, George L. Mosse fled Berlin and settled in the United States, where he went on to become a renowned historian at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Through rigorous and innovative scholarship, Mosse uncovered the forces that spurred antisemitism, racism, nationalism, and populism. His transformative work was propelled by a desire to know his own persecutors and has been vital to generations of scholars seeking to understand the cultural and intellectual origins and mechanisms of Nazism.This translation makes Emilio Gentile’s groundbreaking study of Mosse’s life and work available to English language readers. A leading authority on fascism, totalitarianism, and Mosse’s legacy, Gentile draws on a wealth of published and unpublished material, including letters, interviews, lecture plans, and marginalia from Mosse’s personal library. Gentile details how the senior scholar eschewed polemics and employed rigorous academic standards to better understand fascism and the “catastrophe of the modern man”—how masculinity transformed into a destructive ideology. As long as wars are waged over political beliefs in popular culture, Mosse’s theories of totalitarianism will remain as relevant as ever.

In God's Democracy, Emilio Gentile argues that the presidency of George W. Bush sought to alter the way religion functions in American political life. Prior to the events of 9/11, the national government operated under a civil religious regime that placed a sacred umbrella over the entire country and its leading political figures. American civil religion was not only an inclusive faith, but one that provided ample room for citizens with different politics and different world views. But in the wake of 9/11, President Bush used religion to differentiate Americans on partisan lines. Relying heavily on his evangelical Christian base, he attempted to substitute for the inclusivism of the traditional American civil religion an exclusivist political religion in which Democrats were portrayed as hostile to religious values and incapable of dealing with the country's foreign enemies. This book provides the historical context for this attempted transformation, and shows in a detailed way how the Bush administration pursued it. Gentile concludes by posing the question of whether this radical shift in the way Americans understand themselves religiously will prove permanent.Unlike other works that strive to show how religion has generally come to be treated in American politics, this new book looks more squarely at the Bush Administration and its attempt to shut out Democrats from the political process by invoking religious language and ideals. He goes on to consider the political exclusivism and whether or not it will persist beyond Bush's tenure.

Emilio Gentile, an internationally renowned authority on fascism and totalitarianism, argues that politics over the past two centuries has often taken on the features of religion, claiming as its own the prerogative of defining the fundamental purpose and meaning of human life. Secular political entities such as the nation, the state, race, class, and the party became the focus of myths, rituals, and commandments and gradually became objects of faith, loyalty, and reverence. Gentile examines this "sacralization of politics," as he defines it, both historically and theoretically, seeking to identify the different ways in which political regimes as diverse as fascism, communism, and liberal democracy have ultimately depended, like religions, on faith, myths, rites, and symbols. Gentile maintains that the sacralization of politics as a modern phenomenon is distinct from the politicization of religion that has arisen from militant religious fundamentalism. Sacralized politics may be democratic, in the form of a civil religion, or it may be totalitarian, in the form of a political religion.Using this conceptual distinction, and moving from America to Europe, and from Africa to Asia, Gentile presents a unique comparative history of civil and political religions from the American and French Revolutions, through nationalism and socialism, democracy and totalitarianism, fascism and communism, up to the present day. It is also a fascinating book for understanding the sacralization of politics after 9/11.

La sociedad occidental moderna ha hecho de la "democracia" basada en la "soberanía del pueblo" la clave de bóveda de su sistema político. Fueron los Estados Unidos nacidos de la Guerra de Secesión quienes dieron la pauta para esta forma de gobierno «del pueblo, por el pueblo y para el pueblo» cuyo concepto ha acabado imponiéndose. Sin embargo, en las democracias actuales (apunta el prestigioso historiador Emilio Gentile en este combativo libro), el "pueblo soberano" no es más que una comparsa que interviene, muy encauzada, tan sólo en el momento del voto, observación no por redundante menos necesaria. En realidad prevalecen las oligarquías de gobierno y de partido, la corrupción de la clase política, la demagogia de los líderes, la apatía de los ciudadanos, la manipulación de la opinión pública, la degradación de la cultura política y de los anuncios. La "democracia" está enferma. ¿O no? ¿Y si todos estos rasgos perversos de las democracias (se pregunta el autor) no fueran contingentes, sino congénitos?

Lenin y Mussolini vivieron en Ginebra entre 1902 y 1904, y quizá se encontraron en la Brasserie Handwerk, celebrando el aniversario de la Comuna de París. Un periodo en el que ambos militaban en el socialismo revolucionario, eran hostiles al revisionismo reformista y manifestaban concepciones similares sobre la revolución y el papel del partido en la misma. Entre 1904 y 1914 caminaron por sendas paralelas, pero a partir de octubre de este último año, sus carreras políticas adoptaron direcciones opuestas, empezando por sus diferentes posiciones con respecto a lo que será la Primera Guerra Mundial. La historiografía suele presentar a ambos y a sus regímenes como "enemigos fraternales" en una situación en la que el comunismo, al nacer antes, sentó las bases de cómo destruir la democracia e instituir un sistema de partido único, modelo y pasos que habría seguido el fascismo. Aspecto que cuestiona Emilio Gentile, uno de los referentes mundiales en el estudio del fascismo, ya que Mussolini nunca consideró a Lenin, su revolución y su régimen como ejemplos a imitar, sino que los vio como una dictadura de fanáticos intelectuales, impuesta por el terror sobre el proletariado, y un experimento fracasado. Mussolini contra Lenin es un libro muy documentado en el que Emilio Gentile entrecruza las vidas políticas de Mussolini y Lenin, todo aderezado de referencias mutuas que hicieron el uno del otro a lo largo del tiempo. Al reconstruir la postura y la actitud crítica de Mussolini con respecto a Lenin, a la revolución bolchevique y al régimen comunista, Gentile no solo ayuda a entender la evolución de las ideas del futuro Duce del socialismo al fascismo, sino que nos propone también una lectura original de la relación entre ambos, de la relación entre dos líderes que marcaron la sangrienta historia del siglo XX.

¿Vuelve el fascismo? ¿Son fascistas Trump, Erdogan, Orbán, Bolsonaro, Salvini...? Cien años después de la fundación del fascismo en Italia y siete décadas después de la caída de Hitler y de Mussolini, las redes sociales y los medios de comunicación tradicionales alertan sobre el ascenso de un nuevo peligro fascista. Sus características serían: la exaltación del pueblo como comunidad virtuosa frente a los políticos corruptos, el desprecio de la democracia parlamentaria, la movilización callejera, la exigencia de un hombre fuerte en el gobierno, el nacionalismo, la hostilidad hacia los emigrantes extranjeros, la defensa de la identidad religiosa tradicional... ¿Estamos de verdad ante un nuevo fascismo? ¿O son solo alarmas para ocultar los problemas actuales? Emilio Gentile, uno de los más importantes estudiosos del fascismo, intenta responder a estas preguntas que afectan a todo el mundo, incluida España, y demuestra que hablar de "retorno del fascismo", de "fascismo eterno", no solo carece de sentido histórico sino que agrava la desinformación sobre lo que fue realmente aquel movimiento y nos impide comprender el presente.
