This timely book takes an original transnational approach to the theme of Nazism and neo-Nazism in film, media, and popular culture, with examples drawn from mainland Europe, the UK, North and Latin America, Asia, and beyond. This approach fits with the established dominance of global multimedia formats, and will be useful for students, scholars, and researchers in all forms of film and media. Along with the essential need to examine current trends in Nazism and neo-Nazism in contemporary media globally, what makesthis book even more necessary is that it engages with debates that go to the very heart of our understanding of knowledge: history, memory, meaning, and truth.

Tout ou presque a été écrit sur le nazisme, faisant de celui-ci l'objet de recherche historique le plus commenté d'après-guerre. Nous pensons donc savoir, sentiment renforcé par l'incarnation symbolique de l'horreur conférée au nazisme depuis la Shoah : quiconque entre dans le débat politique et/ou historique se heurte tôt ou tard au danger du point Godwin. Or, si le nazisme se fait argument suprême, ne légitimant aucune contre-expertise car indépassable dans la représentation de l'horreur qu'il suscite, cela tient en grande partie aux idées reçues que le nazisme et sa mémoire ont suscitées pour justifier de son aberration, associé à une lecture parfois décontextualisée de l'histoire. Cette anatomie du nazisme propose donc de plonger aux racines du phénomène et de battre en brèche les idées reçues ayant pollué et fragmenté son histoire et sa mémoire. Derrière le scalpel de l'historien se joue le diagnostic d'une société éclairée. --

The years following the Second World War saw American religious leaders making fervent attempts to bridge the denominational gap and encourage peaceful cooperation among America's three leading faiths: Protestantism, Catholicism, and Judaism. While the religious revival movement was largely successful, it was not as complete as historians have previously suggested. Scholars of the postwar religious awakening have neglected the darker, conflictual, and even violent strains of religious revival which developed alongside the optimistic, cooperative, and harmonious efforts that have taken center stage. Simply put, the development and propagation of Christian Identity, as propelled by Dr. Wesley Albert Swift, provided a ready-made system of values and organizational tenets to the various white power and neo-Nazi organizations that emerged across America after World War II ended. This article seeks to bring scholarly attention to this national movement that emerged in direct opposition to the Judeo-Christian tradition, and in so doing, highlight the evolution of the American Neo-Nazi movement as a theologically-based movement that is starkly different from and considerably more malleable than modern American Nazism (which is often referred to as neo-Nazism, albeit, incorrectly).
