The drive to decolonise is of central importance to the study of fascism, which after all was and remains a politics rooted in specific conceptions of colonialism and race. In this article, we have invited both leading academics and early career scholars to reflect on how we might ‘decolonise’ fascist studies. Their comments approach fascism in a range of contexts, and offer reflections on how to frame future research questions, approach methodological issues, and consider how fascism studies might develop a more overt and clear stance on the problems posed by decolonising the subject area more broadly. It is hoped that these commentaries will enrich the field of fascist studies and, in turn, do more to relate it to the work of scholars in other relevant areas of study, particularly those working on critical theories of race and racism. Contributors to this debate are: Leslie James, Raul Carstocea, Daniel Hedinger, Liam J. Liburd, Cathy Bergin, Benjamin Bland, Evan Smith, Jonathan Hyslop, Benjamin Zachariah, and Caroline Campbell.

去殖民化的动力对法西斯主义的研究至关重要，毕竟法西斯主义过去是，现在仍然是一种植根于特定殖民主义和种族概念的政治。在这篇文章中，我们邀请了顶尖学者和早期职业学者来思考我们如何“去殖民化”法西斯研究。他们的评论在一系列背景下接近法西斯主义，并反思如何构建未来的研究问题、处理方法论问题，并考虑法西斯主义研究如何对更广泛的学科领域非殖民化所带来的问题形成更公开和清晰的立场。希望这些评论能够丰富法西斯研究领域，并反过来将其与其他相关研究领域的学者的工作联系起来，尤其是那些从事种族和种族主义批判理论的学者。
