A review by eaupaline
Late Fascism: Race, Capitalism and the Politics of Crisis by Alberto Toscano
3.0
Late fascism is a very rich and interesting read, albeit not always easy to follow.
It summons up some philosophical concepts and references to books that I didn’t know, which made this reading a bit difficult for me. I thought the way it deals with concepts was a bit too abstract. At times it felt like it would have been more intelligible for me if it offered more analysis of current events in the world. I was probably not the main target for this essay, but I did appreciate some passages that give an overview of the ideas developed here. I also learnt a lot and it made me want to delve into the author’s very well-stocked bibliography.
When it’s translated into French it might not be a book I could buy for my library network as it feels a bit too intricate to be suitable for the general public, but I’ll be happy to recommend it to people around me.
Thanks to Verso Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advance digital copy.
