POLITICS

Fascist Mythologies

Organizing for Power and Empowerment

The History and Politics of Unreason in Borges, Freud, and Schmitt

The Fight for Democracy Second Edition

Federico Finchelstein

Jacqueline B. Mondros and Joan Minieri

Federico Finchelstein draws on a striking combination of thinkers—Jorge Luis Borges, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Schmitt—to consider fascism as a form of political mythmaking. At a moment when forces redolent of fascism cast a shadow over world affairs, this book provides a timely critical analysis of the dangers of myth in modern politics.

This second edition draws on extensive research to portray how social-action organizations have evolved over the past twenty-five years, building power in the struggle for social and economic justice. It explores how organizers increasingly target corporate influence and fight pervasive intersectional injustice.
