Antifascism(s) in Latin America and the Caribbean : From the Margins to the Center

This is the first book in any language to provide a comprehensive and comparative history of antifascisms in Latin America and the Caribbean. Multidisciplinary and accessible, it will engage students, scholars, and general readers interested in fascism/antifascism, Latin American studies, and those concerned with rising right-wing populism today.

Drawing from the work of experienced scholars across various fields, countries, and periods, this volume is the first book in any language to provide a comprehensive history of antifascisms in Latin America and the Caribbean. It presents antifascism as a multifaceted phenomenon at the intersection of local, national, and transnational processes that is embraced by a variety of actors with differing agendas. Offering an innovative and fundamental contribution to several bodies of scholarship, including history, art, literature, sports, race, gender, and sexuality, it expands the field of antifascist studies by demonstrating the differences and similarities between Latin American and Caribbean movements and actors and their counterparts elsewhere. Multidisciplinary and accessible, the original essays in this volume will engage a broad audience and offer important insights about the rise of right-wing populism today.
