The global challenge to democracy in historical perspective. Â Fascism was a distinct movement in European history that left deep scars across the continent, but the term “fascist” is now more broadly applied to those on the political right, especially the new populists who have seized power across much of the globe in recent years. Although most far-right populists vocally disavow historic fascism, others see worrying parallels between them. Could we be witnessing a return to the fascist politics of Mussolini, Franco, and Hitler? This book is both an assessment of the current crisis of democracy and a brief history of fascism and far-right populism around the world. Authors Maximiliano Fuentes Codera and Javier Rodrigo hope this historical approach will help readers better understand the urgent challenges faced by our democracies.

A new account of urban Victorian life told through the dubious day-to-day of London’s police courts. Â Nether World presents a rich, often humorous glimpse into everyday life in Victorian London through a revealing account of nineteenth-century police courts. People of all classes brought complaints to this court about those who had hurt, abused, or stolen from them?drunks, pickpockets, wife-beaters, and fraudsters?who were each in their turn judged by magistrates wielding broad summary powers. Delving into underexamined court records and the pages of a fast-developing newspaper industry, Drew D. Gray offers a fresh description of a vibrant, ever-changing metropolis and considers ongoing issues such as poverty, homelessness, violence, substance abuse, prostitution, and?of course?crime.
