Description
Jonathan Bowden's Pulp Fascism explores the radical, ambivalent, and sometimes shocking traditionalist undercurrents in popular culture. Bowden's unique approach combines high and low culture, applying ideas from one to the analysis of the other, with a supposition that inequality is a moral good. This dense and richly referenced work offers insight into the world of comics, graphic novels, and popular literature. As a cultural critic and revisionist, Bowden's texts are characterized by humor and entertainment, yet remain dense with reference and insight. His orations and non-fiction writings are notable for their ability to cut to the essence of a philosophy or political development in a way that is immediately understandable and useful for nationalists. This book is an attempt to reveal the often-overlooked characters and comic-book worlds that surround us, bringing new life to those that are too often dismissed as child's play.
