This article argues that two distinctive varieties of antifascism took shape in the 1930s and endured through the late 1970s. These two varieties-Popular Front antifascism and anti-imperial antifascism-were in dialogue but in opposition to one another, and both were transnational mobilizing ideologies. Investigating these two antifascist movements allows us to place Europe in the wider world and demonstrate how anti-imperial activists of color simultaneously "provincialized" Europe and situated it within a global framework. The effort also highlights the need to rethink the history of the European Left through the framework of antifascism
