Abstract

This book uses case studies of Costa Rica and Guatemala to explore the origins of democracy and authoritarianism, developing a novel theoretical approach based around the concept of coalition. Costa Rica is the longest-standing and arguably the most stable democracy in Latin America, while Guatemala has among the longest and most brutal records of authoritarian rule in Latin America. The author demonstrates that prior to the 1950s, these two countries followed broadly similar patterns of political change and development. She argues that the democratizing coalition's success in Costa Rica and its failure in Guatemala rested upon the coalition's capacity to redistribute elite property early on and to exercise effective political control of the countryside. The distinct theoretical approach integrates an analysis of the conditions fostering democracy with those conducive to its endurance.

Abstract

This richly textured cultural history of Italian fascism traces the narrative path that accompanied the making of the regime and the construction of Mussolini's power. Simonetta Falasca-Zamponi reads fascist myths, rituals, images, and speeches as texts that tell the story of fascism. Linking Mussolini's elaboration of a new ruling style to the shaping of the regime's identity, she finds that in searching for symbolic means and forms that would represent its political novelty, fascism in fact brought itself into being, creating its own power and history. Falasca-Zamponi argues that an aesthetically founded notion of politics guided fascist power's historical unfolding and determined the fascist regime's violent understanding of social relations, its desensitized and dehumanized claims to creation, its privileging of form over ethical norms, and ultimately its truly totalitarian nature.

Abstract

This is a thematically arranged text illustrating popular resisitance to Nazism in Germany from 1930-1945, and the affect of Nazism on everyday life. The book combines a lucid, synthesized analysis together with a wide selection of integrated source material taken from pamphlets, diaries, recent oral testimonies, correspondence and more. Different chapters focus on social groups and activities, such as youth movements, religion, Jewish Germans, and the working classes.
