Perspectives on fascism
A review of "Fascism Past and Present, West and East: An International Debate on Concepts and Cases in the Comparative Study of the Extreme Right" provides a useful -- if compressed -- overview of some of the issues that scholars of fascism are presently grappling with.
The book features the "leading scholars of the field, both junior and senior," from Europe and the United States. And although it was originally published in 2006, one feels confident asserting that this book has not upended their work, despite assertions to the contrary by its author.
