Abstract
This paper explores a new view of Seward Collins, the publisher of the 1930s journal
known as the American Review—as a provocateur par excellence. Normally labeled a “fascist” in
historical literature, this paper tries to understand the nuances behind this position. Collins’s
supposed fascism presents a historical and epistemological problem for historians, and the paper
proposes changing Collins’s label to that of provocateur.
