TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Fragments of an anti-fascist geography: interrogating racism, nationalism, and state power JO - Geography compass A1 - Ince, Anthony SP - e12420 EP - e12420 VL - 13 IS - 3 N2 - Extensive research exists in geography concerning racism and nationalism, yet there has been surprisingly little written on the far right, and even less on their anti-fascist opponents. In the context of a resurgent far right, this paper draws together disparate work on this topic within geography to investigate the possibilities for the development of anti-fascist geographies. While fascism and anti-fascism have been chronically under-researched in geography, I argue that there remains an insightful body of research in existence and that geographers are well positioned to undertake substantial work on the subject. Three connecting dimensions of an anti-fascist geography are identified, namely, investigating not only racism but also the more-than-racist dimensions of the far right; their intersections with one another; and the development of anti-fascist rationalities in geographical scholarship. Through this discussion, I suggest that the field of anarchist geographies offers a useful framework for these tasks, not only for empirical study but also for developing agendas to embed anti-fascist principles into academic practices. By focusing in on the spatialities of far right and anti-fascist politics, political geographers can position themselves at the forefront of this important area of work.
