Evola’s Afterlives
Since his death half a century ago, the legacy of Julius Evola (1898–1974) has been marked by a series of distortions, from basic biographical facts to serious misconceptions about the relation between the esoteric and political aspects of his work. This article assesses claims in publications from A. James Gregor, Hans Thomas Hakl, Gianfranco de Turris and others, contrasting them to the archival record and original editions of Evola’s texts. It…
Brill’s companion to the classics, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany
Racial Ideology between Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany
One of the troublesome factors in the Rome–Berlin Axis before and during the Second World War centered on disagreements over racial ideology and corresponding antisemitic policies. A common image sees Fascist Italy as a reluctant partner on racial matters, largely dominated by its more powerful Nazi ally. This article offers a contrasting assessment, tracing the efforts by Italian theorist Julius Evola to cultivate a closer rapport between Italia…
Fascist Pigs
In the fragmented academic domain of history, genuinely comparative cross-disciplinary studies remain rare. Tiago Saraiva’s stimulating book represents a resourceful attempt to draw substantive connections among three disparate fields—environmental history, science and technology studies, and the history of fascism—applied to three distinct case studies: Hitler’s Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, and Salazar’s Portugal. Each of these fields and each of…
Preparation for Genocide
In 1941 Fascist Italy established the so-called Centers for the Study of the Jewish Problem in an effort to develop an Italian variant of “spiritual racism” as a fitting counterpart to Nazi racial doctrine. The most active of the Centers was located in Trieste, home to one of Italy's largest Jewish communities. The institute's close ties with the German consulate and SS contingent played a crucial role in the assault on Trieste's Jewish populatio…
Organic Farming in Nazi Germany
The controversy over the nature and extent of official support for organic agriculture in Nazi Germany has generally focused on the minister of agriculture, R. W. Darré, and his putative endorsement of biodynamic farming. By shifting focus from the figure of Darré to other sectors of the Nazi hierarchy, this article reexamines a contested chapter in the environmental history of the Third Reich. Using previously neglected sources, I trace several …
Hannah Arendt's analysis of antisemitism in The Origins of Totalitarianism
Hannah Arendt's seminal work The Origins of Totalitarianism begins with an extended study of the history of antisemitism. Many of Arendt's arguments in this groundbreaking text have been challenged by other scholars. Examining the chief contours of Arendt's account of the rise of modern antisemitism, Staudenmaier offers detailed reasons for approaching her conclusions sceptically while appreciating the book's other virtues. Arendt's repeated reli…
Anthroposophie in Deutschland
Occultism, Race and Politics in German-speaking Europe, 1880—1940
In recognition of a recent renewal of scholarly interest in nineteenth- and twentieth-century German occultism, this review essay surveys the variety of existing historical treatments of the topic and points to possible directions for further research. Sources examined range from the 1960s to the present, in German and English, with attention to broader European parallels. Among other debates, a central focus is the nature and extent of the histo…
Race and Redemption
With its origins in modern Theosophy, Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy is built around a racial view of human nature arranged in a hierarchical framework. This article examines the details of the Anthroposophical theory of cosmic and individual redemption and draws out the characteristic assumptions about racial and ethnic difference that underlie it. Particular attention is given to textual sources unavailable in English, which reveal the specific…
Fascist Ecology
The experience of the 'green wing' of German fascism is a sobering reminder of the political volatility of ecology
