This volume analyzes the historical continuities and transformations of fascist movements across Ibero-America, Europe, and the United States from the twentieth century to the twenty-first century.By examining political ideologies, networks, and transnational influences, the chapters explore how authoritarian and right-wing populist movements have evolved, adapted, and interacted in different historical contexts. The book provides a comparative perspective on the intersections of fascism, corporatism, Catholicism, nationalism, and contemporary radical right movements, shedding light on their impact on democratic institutions, foreign policy, and social structures.Fascist Legacies and the New Right Across the Atlantic will be beneficial for scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students interested in the history of fascism, populism, and right-wing movements in Ibero-America, Europe, and the United States.

This book presents two systems of censorship and literary promotion, revealing how literature can be molded to support authoritarian regimes. The issue is complex in that at a descriptive level the strategies and methods "new states" use to control communication through the written word can be judged by how and when formal decrees were issued, and how publishing media, whether in the form of publishing companies or at the individual level, engaged with political overseers. But equally, literature was a means of resistance against an authoritarian regime, not only for writers but for readers as well. From the point of view of historical memory and intellectual history, stories of "people without history" and the production of their texts through the literary "underground" can be constructed from subsequent testimony: from books sold in secret, to the writings of women in jail, to books that were written but never published or distributed in any way, and to myriad compelling circumstances resulting from living under fascist authority. A parallel study on two fascist movements provides a unique viewpoint at literary, social and political levels. Comparative analysis of literary censorship/literary reward allows an understanding of the balance between dictatorship, official policy, and what literary acts were deemed acceptable. The regime need to control its population is revealed in the ways that a particular type of literature was encouraged; in the engagement of propoganda promotion; and in the setting up of institutions to gain international acceptance of the regime. The work is an important contribution to the history of twentieth-century authoritarianism and the development fascist ideas.
