The Nature of Identitarianism
Göran Dahl
Über dieses Buch
The Nature of Identitarianism explores the background to this new far right movement.
Since its origins in France in 2003, Identitarianism has become one of the most influential far-right ideologies. Inspiring groups such as Generation Identity in Europe and the Alt-Right in America, Identitarianism has spawned a far-right constellation that includes white nationalist direct action groups, think tanks, "alternative media" organizations and social media "celebrities". But the ideas that underpin Identitarianism are often poorly understood. This book examines the movement's antecedents and intellectual lineage in the thinkers of the Conservative Revolution and the European New Right, as well as the influence of far-right gurus such as Francis Parker Yockey, Jean Thiriart, Julius Evola, and Aleksandr Dugin. The author also investigates how conspiracy thinking, antisemitism, and islamophobia feature prominently in the identitarian worldview.
This book will be essential reading for scholars and activists alike with an interest in race relations, fascism, extremism, and social movements.
