The new issue of L’Espill presents a study about ‘Xenofòbia, populisme i extrema dreta a Europa’ (xenophobia, populism and extreme right in Europe), which includes articles by Xavier Casals, Enzo Traverso, Rene Cuperus, Jean-Yves Camus and Simona Skrabec.
The slaughter in Utoya last summer revealed the inhuman and destructive power of extreme right populism, which promotes anti-immigration xenophobia and inherits the worst drives of European history: fascism and anti-Semitism. Currently, though, it is presented throght new shapes, sometimes through populist ways, with a harmless appearance and without questioning the democratic system.
This L’Espill report deals with a current problem thanks to reputable researchers like the historian Xavier Casals (who analizes the key to the new populist right in Europe, Catalonia and Spain); the historian Enzo Traverso (who offers an analytic and interpretative contribution of ‘the factory of hate’); the Dutch political scientist Rene Cuperus, who goes into the populist uprising against globalization from the case of Holland; the Frech political scientist Jean-Yves Camus, who analizes the formation, history and recent evolution of a paradigmatic case: Le Pen’s extreme-right Front National; and Simona Skrabec, who writes about the reality of the populist and extreme-right phenomena in Slovenia and Eastern Europe.
Moreover, this issue includes articles on a wide range of topics. The authors collaborating are Miquel de Moragas, Miriam Hoyo, Jordi Marrugat, Hugh Pennington, Ferran Archilés, Santi Cortés and Antoni Martí Monterde. Some texts by Víctor Serge are included. The journal was founded by Joan Fuster.
