European Socialists Respond to Fascism
Oxford University Press (Verlag)
978-0-19-886373-1 (ISBN)
Triggered into action by the shock effect of the Nazi rise to power in Germany, socialists throughout Western Europe entered an unusually active period of practical reorientation and debate over political strategy which helped determine the contours of European politics up to the outbreak of World War II and beyond. Stressing the transnational dimension of this process while simultaneously integrating local, regional, and national factors, this work finds that it was social democracy, rather than communism, that acted as the primary vehicle for radical change among European marxists during the 1930s.
Following major figures within the European left and the significant events that made up the inter-war period, Gerd-Rainer Horn demonstrates the interconnectedness of Europe's interwar socialists. Finally, Horn manages to relate these findings to the ongoing interdisciplinary debate on structure, agency, and contingency in the historical process.
Gerd-Rainer Horn has been Professor of History at Sciences Po, Paris, France, since 2013. He has previously taught at Western Oregon University, the University of Huddersfield, and the University of Warwick. His area of research expertise is the twentieth century history of transnational social movements in continental Western Europe. His other publications with Oxford University Press include The Spirit of Vatican II: Western European Left Catholicism in the Long Sixties, 1959-1980, Western European Liberation Theology, 1924-1959, The Spirit of '68: Rebellion in Western Europe and North America, 1956-1976, and the forthcoming The Moment of Liberation in Western Europe: Power Struggles and Rebellions, 1943-1948.
