Intellectuals in the Latin Space during the Era of Fascism

This volume investigates a galaxy of diverse networks and intellectual actors who engaged in a wide political environment, from conservatism to the most radical right, between the World Wars. Looking beyond Fascism, it considers the less-investigated domain of the 'Latin space', encompassing both Southern Europe and Latin America.
