Abstract

In her CSSH article “Tomorrow belongs to us”: Pathways to Activism in Italian Far-Right Youth Communities” (CSSH 64-1, 2022), Agnieszka Pasieka shows the value of long-term ethnographic study t0 facilitating deeper understanding of the communities of young, far-right activists in Italy with whom she works. Historically situating contemporary activism in connection with the “fascist heritage” it engages was critical to that effort. In this new work, Pasieka turns her attention to the present. What was “tomorrow” in Pasieka’s initial research has become today. By examining the current commitments and endeavors of her former fieldwork consultants, she reflects now on the limits of ethnographic knowing.
