Write a paper that makes an argument about early (pre-WWII) interpretations of fascism. In order to complete this paper, you must first do primary source research in the Historical New York Times database into how contemporaries understood fascism in the 1920s-1930s. You must then analyze this material, making an argument about what the source you have chosen can tell us about this notoriously difficult to define phenomenon. Taking Gavriel D. Rosenfelds article Who Was Hitler Before Hitler? as a model, research coverage of early fascism in the digital newspaper database. Develop a debatable thesis and argue in its favor using primary and secondary, peer-reviewed sources.
