Masses
and Man Nationalist and Fascist Perceptions of Reality George L. Mosse |
Masses and Man is both a unique study in the history of human perceptions and a permanent addition to the literature on fascism and radical nationalism in twentieth century Europe. Mosse analyzes how men and women in modern Europe, discontent over the loss of order and the disintegration of traditional values, turned to nationalism. Seeking guidelines upon which they could model their lives, they found in nationalism a means to maintain clear distinctions between the accepted and the unacceptable, the permitted and the forbidden, and the normal and the abnormal. Mosse explores the myths and stereotypes through which Europeans perceived their world and relates these popular perceptions to the historical realities upon which nationalism and fascism were built. | "An excellent collection of essays discussing the rise of mass societies in Europe and the precursors of Nazism." — Library Journal | |||||||||||||
