Description: This work looks at the tradition and popular appeal of the ancient symbol of the swastika. In a micro-historical investigation, embracing archaeology, symbolic anthropology and the history of art, it shows how the swastika first became connected to a race theory in the 19th century.
Synopsis: Despite the enormous amount of material on the subject of Nazism, there has been no substantial work on its emblem, the swastika. This original and controversial contribution examines the role that the swastika played in the construction of the Aryan myth in the nineteenth century, and its use in Nazi ideology as a symbol of party, nation and race, treating it as symbolic phenomenon in a cultural context. By identifying the swastika as a boundary or liminal image, Malcolm Quinn allies visual anaysis to issues of material culture and history.
