About the Book

Although the Nordic countries have a reputation for tolerance and social democracy, they were not immune to fascism which spread across Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. This book offers the first comprehensive history of anti-fascism in the Nordic Countries. Through a number of case studies on anti-fascism in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland, the book makes a significant contribution to the history of contentious politics in the Nordic Countries and to our broader knowledge of European fascism and anti-fascism. The case studies concentrate on the different manifestations of resistance to fascism and Nazism in the interwar era as well as some of the postwar variants. The book will be of considerable interest to scholars of anti-fascism as well as researchers of Nordic and Scandinavian history and politics.

Review :
"This volume offers a balanced and many-sided look at a key region in the development of anti-fascist initiatives and policies in the interwar era, and a further proof of the globality, diversity and endurance of this movement." Hugo García, Associate Professor of Modern World History at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain. Co-editor of Rethinking Antifascism. History, Memory and Politics, 1922 to the Present (Berghahn Books, 2016) "This volume offers a very welcome addition to the research of the anti-fascist mobilization in the interwar era. A field that that in many respects have been over looked as a research field. The volume offers new insights in the history of anti-fascism initiatives and politics." Heléne Lööw, Associate Professor of History at the University of Uppsala, Sweden. She has written several books about the history of fascism in Sweden.
