Description
Cuban intellectual Eliades Acosta examines the rise of fascism in 1930s Europe and the massive anti-fascist movements and cultural conferences organized to defeat it. He invokes Prometheus as the “savior” of human civilization to describe the role of culture, in its broadest sense, in defending humanity from fascism.
