Sinossi
Lo sterminio nazista degli ebrei è visto perlopiù come evento senza precedenti nella storia europea, fiammata insensata di barbarie nel cuore della nostra civiltà. In questo breve saggio, Enzo Traverso intende mostrare invece in quale misura l'Europa dell'Ottocento, l'Europa del capitalismo industriale, dell'imperialismo, del colonialismo, del darwinismo sociale, dell'eugenismo, sia stata in realtà il laboratorio del nazismo.

Με κούρασαν τα βιβλία που μένουν σε μια αντιπαράθεση πεδίων του λόγου. Ως εάν ναζισμος/φασισμός/ρατσισμός να είναι ζητήματα της διανοητικής ιστορίας, μερικών μεταφορών του Χίτλερ ή των προκαταλήψεων ενός λογοτέχνη. Και δεν πηγαίνουν σε πραγματικές διαδικασίες και σε μια υλιστική ανάλυση από ένα φόβο Leggi tutto
I read this book for my class on fascism, and this was by far the best on the reading list. It's short, compellingly written unlike so many history books, and makes great use of other research, synthesizing. The books's point is drawing out threads in European history before Nazism and the Holocaust Leggi tutto
Traverso delves with fearless but objective energy to the European, Asian, and American concepts of race and worthiness to find the underpinnings of Nazi brutality. No one's national taboos stand in the way here; the French in Algeria, the British in South Africa, the Japanese in Korea, and the Amer Leggi tutto
