Constructing a Reactionary Modernity
Understanding the modernities constructed in both the practices and the imaginaries of radical right-wing movements in the early 1920s has important implications for historiography. Among other things, it compels historians to adopt a holistic approach to these movements and to the societal and political contexts into which they were embedded and which they often attempted to influence or subvert. Such an approach helps to avoid reductionism, in …
The White International
This paper reconstructs the political worldview and transnational practices of the “White International,” the loose network of counterrevolutionary paramilitary actors operating across Munich, Vienna, and Budapest after 1919. It argues that the Central European upheavals of 1919–1923 constituted a diachronic, ideology-driven civil war in which both left- and right-wing movements perceived the Other as an ontological threat. Drawing on cases from …

Zsolt Nagy. Great Expectations and Interwar Realities
Zsolt Nagy’s Great Expectations and Interwar Realities: Hungarian Cultural Diplomacy, 1918–1941 is a welcome addition to recently published research on interwar public diplomacy. At the time, efforts to engage societies and elites of foreign countries, with the aim of making them more amenable to the foreign policy agenda of the state conducting such activities, were spreading through a slew of transnational learning processes. Nagy’s book is a v…
