The following is the page blurb of the French edition (ACR translation):

How the poison is spreading across the globe.

Le Pen, Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Modi… There was a ‘brown international’ in the interwar period; now a new fascist international is emerging. Ugo Palheta, who has established himself as one of the leading experts on contemporary fascism, exposes the terrifying global mechanisms at work.

For however nationalist they may be, contemporary far-right movements organise themselves on an international scale. Their words, ideas and strategies circulate from one country to another. Every rising force seeks to capitalise on the prestige gained by others. Certain countries, such as Hungary or Russia, act as role models and sometimes as patrons.

Ugo Palheta dissects the ingredients that transcend borders, driven by an obsession with identity, patriarchal reaction and a hatred of equality. He shows how far-right movements have managed to popularise a political project: to purge the nation in order to regenerate it, by rooting out enemies and punishing traitors.

The author does not, however, stop at this chilling observation, for a new internationalism is emerging at the heart of contemporary struggles, heralding a 21st-century anti-fascism.
