Bringing together classic texts and contemporary interventions, this important volume catalogues the diverse meanings and instantiations of fascism. The essays think our present anew by probing the uses and limits of historical analogy and urging a comparative and transnational approach.--Adom Getachew, author of Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination In recent years, there is perhaps no other topic that has sparked spirited debate among academics, politicians, and journalists more than fascism. This sharp, timely, and capacious collection masterfully peels back the layers of fascism--closely analyzing its historical roots, shifting meanings, global dimensions, and enduring impact on American society. This is a valuable contribution to modern political thought.--Keisha N. Blain, co-editor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019 The 'fascism debates' of the Trump era say less about fascism or right-wing politics than the fault lines that divide Trump's enemies on the liberal left. The Trump debate will fade, but the big questions explored in this thoughtfully curated volume will linger.--Matthew Karp, author of The Vast Southern Empire Going well beyond the question of who or what deserves to be called a fascist, this unparalleled collection provides an urgently needed examination of American democracy in critical condition.--Tara Zahra, author of Against the World Brimming with insights from classic texts and contemporary scholars alike, Did It Happen Here? is a must-read collection for anyone wondering and worrying about the state of American democracy.--Kevin M. Kruse, author of Fault Lines
