  • Dreaming of a National Socialist World: the World Union of National Socialists (Wuns) and the Recurring Vision of Transnational Neo-Nazism
    fascism 8 (2019) 275-306 brill.com/fasc Dreaming of a National Socialist World: The World Union of National Socialists (wuns) and the Recurring Vision of Transnational Neo-Nazism Paul Jackson Senior Lecturer in History, University of Northampton [email protected] Abstract This article will survey the transnational dynamics of the World Union of National Socialists (wuns), from its foundation in 1962 to the present day. It will examine a wide range of materials generated by the organisation, including its foundational docu- ment, the Cotswolds Declaration, as well as membership application details, wuns bulletins, related magazines such as Stormtrooper, and its intellectual journals, Nation- al Socialist World and The National Socialist. By analysing material from affiliated organisations, it will also consider how the network was able to foster contrasting rela- tionships with sympathetic groups in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, al- lowing other leading neo-Nazis, such as Colin Jordan, to develop a wider role interna- tionally. The author argues that the neo-Nazi network reached its height in the mid to late 1960s, and also highlights how, in more recent times, the wuns has taken on a new role as an evocative ‘story’ in neo-Nazi history. This process of ‘accumulative extrem- ism’, inventing a new tradition within the neo-Nazi movement, is important to recog- nise, as it helps us understand the self-mythologizing nature of neo-Nazi and wider neo-fascist cultures. Therefore, despite failing in its ambitions of creating a Nazi- inspired new global order, the lasting significance of the wuns has been its ability to inspire newer transnational aspirations among neo-Nazis and neo-fascists.

  • Tensions Within: How the Toronto Jewish Community Dealt with the Canadian Nazi Party in the 1960S Jessica Darlington the 1960 T
    Tensions Within: How the Toronto Jewish Community Dealt with The Canadian Nazi Party in the 1960s Jessica Darlington The 1960’s were a time of heavy political activism in North America. In both Canada and the United States, mass political and social movements defined the decade. The 1960's also saw a resurgence of Nazi and fascist radicalism across North America. While neo-Nazism was dangerous enough to Jewish people as individuals, it would also create a divide in the Jewish community in Toronto. This divide emerged from a difference in opinion on how to deal with the surge in Neo-Nazism during the sixties, and in particular, with the Canadian Nazi Party leader, William John Beattie. In his 2000 work on the Jewish experience in Canada after the Holocaust, historian Frank Bialystok suggested that this difference in strategies or approaches to combatting neo-Nazism in Canada led to a division into two very distinct parties. “From 1945 to 1960,” he wrote, “there were two Jewish communities in psychic, if not always geographic terms: the established community, defined as those who were born or raised in Canada in the pre- war period, and the survivors.”1 “Established” Jewish Canadians felt less threatened by the Nazi party of Canada in comparison to the second group, the Holocaust survivors. “Established” Canadian Jews had not experienced the turmoil in ghettos, concentration camps, hiding, or witnessed the mass murder of their loved ones firsthand. This distinction is not meant to discredit the experiences of anti-Semitism Jews in North America faced, but it is understandable how the 1 Bialystok, Franklin.

    Heroines, Victims and Survivors: Female Minors as Active Agents in Films about African Colonial and Postcolonial Conflicts. by Norita Mdege Town Thesis Presented forCape the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Film Studies in the Centre for Filmof and Media Studies UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN September 2017 Supervisor:University Associate Professor Martin Botha The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derivedTown from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes Capeonly. of Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University Abstract This thesis analyses the representations of girls as active agents in fictional films about African colonial and postcolonial conflicts. Representations of these girls are located within local and global contexts, and viewed through an intersectional lens that sees girls as trebly marginalised as “female,” “child soldiers” and “African.” A cultural approach that combines textual and contextual analyses is used to draw links between the case study films and the societies within which they are produced and consumed. The thesis notes the shift that occurs between the representations of girls in anti-colonial struggles and postcolonial wars as a demonstration of ideological underpinnings that link these representations to their socio- political contexts. For films about African anti-colonial conflicts, the author looks at Sarafina! (Darrell Roodt, 1992) and Flame (Ingrid Sinclair, 1996). Representations in the optimistic Sarafina! are used to mark a trajectory that leads to the representations in Flame, which is characterised by postcolonial disillusionment.
