Submitted by: Eric Weitz weitz@stolaf.edu In response to Christopher Eisler's query on fascism and masculinity, I would like to second the point that Mabel Berezin's book, *Making the Fascist Self*, has a great deal to offer. In general, some of the most interesting recent work has been on Italian fascism and the intersections of public spaces, culture, and politics. While not all of these works deal directly with gender, they do provide the basis for reflections along these lines. In addition to Berezin, I would look at: Emilio Gentile, *The Sacralization of Politics in Fascist Italy* (Harvard, 1997). Daniel G. Horn, *Social Bodies: Science, Reproduction, and Italian Modernity* (Princeton, 1996). Affron, Matthew, ed., *Fascist Visions: Art and Ideology in France and Italy* (Princeton, 1997). >From the other end of the political spectrum, Julia Hell's study on DDR literature is very important and offers ways of thinking about these issues beyond her specific case: Julia Hell, *Post-Fascist Fantasies: Psychoanalysis, History, and the Literature of East Germany* (Duke, 1997). Although rather limited on gender and fascism, I would still read: Roger Griffin, *The Nature of Fascism* (Routledge, 1991). Eric Weitz St. Olaf College
