In this sweeping, authoritative account, Daniel Byman traces the key moments in the white power movement''s evolution in the United States and around the world and then details its many facets today. Using a wide range of sources, Byman explodes several myths about white power terrorism and exposes dangerous gaps in current policies.For almost two decades since 9\/11, white supremacist terrorism has been relegated to a secondary concern in the US and Europe despite the fact that it was clearly metastasizing.

This book challenges the existing presumption about the link between nationalism and war and systematically investigates how popular nationalism affects a country''s decision to launch military aggression. In doing so, the book makes a provocative and novel claim that popular nationalism has not only a conflict-inducing effect but also a restraining effect and identifies the conditions under which popular nationalism causes war. Specifically, the book claims that popular nationalism leads to war only when leaders who confront it are very confident about their chance of achieving complete victory in conflict or they are politically vulnerable. If these two conditions are not met, popular nationalism has a restraining effect, making leaders seek the status quo and avoid the use of force. The book first shows the restraining effect of popular nationalism focusing on China through a survey experiment and an in-depth case study on the territorial dispute between China and Japan in the East China Sea. It then offers a comprehensive historical and contemporary analysis of when popular nationalism''s restraining effect turns into a conflict-inducing one through case studies on the War of 1812 and the Falklands War. The book provides important insights into whether popular nationalism could put great powers like the United States and China on a collision course and offers broad policy implications for how we can prevent war driven by popular nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fascinating book reconsiders the widely held view that nationalism is always a force for war. Ko argues persuasively that popular nationalism can sometimes be a counterintuitive source of peace, making leaders hesitant to initiate wars unless they are sure they can deliver total victory. This multimethod book is a must-read for scholars interested in questions including how public opinion affects patterns of international conflict and the prospects for war in East Asia. * Jessica Weeks, University of Wisconsin, Madison *\u003cbr\u003ePopular nationalism has a reputation for provoking wars. Jiyoung Ko's Popular Nationalism and War upends this conventional wisdom and makes a compelling case that popular nationalism can also restrain leaders from using force. She explains that leaders proceed cautiously when they cannot envision a quick and complete victory over significant adversaries, fearing that a loss would trigger backlash from their nationalist public. Popular Nationalism and War presents rich and compelling empirical analyses to complement Ko's nuanced theory, which blends psychology with domestic politics to explain international conflict.

The Identitarian intellectual and activist uprising has been a source of inspiration beyond Europe, and Zúquete ties the European experience to the emerging American Alt Right, in the limelight for their support of President Trump and recent public protests on university campuses across the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZúquete presents the multifaceted Identitarian movement on its own terms.

Following the end of the Ottoman Empire in the early 1920s, the countries of the region began a violent and divisive process of state formation. But a century later, state-building remains inconclusive. This book traces the emergence and evolution of state-building across the MENA region and  identifies  the main factors that impeded its success: the slow end of the Ottoman Empire; the experience of colonialism; and the rise of nationalistic and religious movements. The authors reveal the ways in which the post-colonial state proved itself authoritarian and formed on the model of the colonial state. They also identify the nationalist and Islamist movements that competed for political leadership across the nascent systems, enabling the military to establish a grip on the security apparatus and national economies.

Britain is no exception, and in the midst of Brexit, it has even become a vanguard of nationalism’s confident return to the mainstream. Intellectual attempts to account for nationalism’s resurgence have however floundered. Desperately trying to read nationalism through one overarching cause – as capitalist crisis, as cultural backlash, or as social media led anti-Establishment politics – these accounts have proven woefully inadequate. This book argues that the only way to understand nationalism is through nationalism itself. To understand it as the key force of modernity that calls upon all existing ideological traditions in asserting its appeal: whether it is liberal, conservative, neoliberal or left-wing. This ideological clamour that characterises today’s British nationalism requires both recognition and theorisation. A meaningful understanding of new nationalism must reckon with the ideological range animating it and the deeply hostile aversion to different racial minorities that pervades its respective ideologies. Drawing on a variety of cultural and political themes – ranging from Corbyn’s dithering, the cult of Churchillism, the neoliberal fixation with a ‘point-system’ immigration policy, the muscular secularism of Richard Dawkins and friends, fears that the white working class have ‘become black’, and even simply the strange appeal of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones – this book provides a dazzling but always detailed study of how nationalism is the politics of today only because it is a politics of everything.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Valluvan has written a brave and ambitious book.

It should mean not only a break from the failing British state, but also from the prison of free trade and militarism that has delivered successive crises.

The Scottish national question has emerged as the biggest fracture in the British state after Brexit. The independence movement emerged from mass public disenchantment at the status quo, yet the SNP continues governing as if that disenchantment never happened, and the party leadership appears increasingly ambivalent about the risks of demanding independence. Most of all, the British state remains hostile to allowing a second referendum, while the SNP leadership has been unwilling to sanction protest beyond the ballot box.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere do we go from here? \u003ci\u003eScotland After Britain\u003c\/i\u003e argues Brexit could force the movement to engage in a reckoning with the true stakes of independence, a process that will inevitably require a breach with the SNP's establishment vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Scottish independence movement, as the authors show in this tour d'force analysis, has two contending souls. On one hand, the SNP provides yet another classic illustration of Robert Michel's 'iron law of oligarchy' - the tendency following electoral successes for progressive party leaders and politicians to build their own bureaucratic machines based on patronage and more conservative goals. On the other hand, the independence movement, still vividly alive at the grassroots, is the most realistic platform for socialist renewal in the ruins of UKania. -- Mike Davis\u003cbr\u003eThe late Peter Mair, who had a period at Strathclyde University and retained a keen interest in Scottish politics long after his departure, was one of the most distinguished students of political parties and movements in Europe. This book would appeal to him, not only because it explores the 'void' between citizens and organised social interests in Scotland that he wrote about but does so eloquently and with precision. While the campaign for an independent Scotland has been stuck in doldrums, the intellectual left associated with the cause has been remarkably fertile, thoughtful and intellectually provocative. This is a book that will be of interest to all, regardless of political or constitutional preference, interested in understanding Scottish and British politics today but also those interested in this 'void'. -- Peter Mitchell\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScotland After Britain\u003c\/i\u003e is a searching indictment of the complacent dreamworld of Scottish nationalism. As a faltering attempt to escape from the noxious British state, constitutional cretinism put into cold storage the deep-seated class divisions and social inequalities afflicting Scottish society. Davidson, Foley and Wray are dissatisfied with the comforting consolations of the Left in Scotland. Instead they engage in a forensic analysis of the politics of class and nation in order to begin the business of breaking through the frozen ideology of Scottish nationalism towards popular democratic mobilisation. -- Alexander Law, Professor of Sociology at Abertay University\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSCOTLAND AFTER BRITAIN\u003c\/i\u003e is a particularly timely book as the rhetoric around a 2023 referendum intensifies.  The independence movement is having to live with no convincing strategy to get us to a vote in 2023 and no fresh and coherent programme for post-independence to inspire the public and the movement. Dragging out the decayed corpse of the Growth Commission couldn't be further from what we need.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJames Foley and Ben Wray (with a tribute to the late Neil Davidson) bring intellectual substance to the left case for Scottish independence. They place it in the context of the various crises in the global economy, the pervasive democratic deficits which have left most populations feeling powerless, and the break-down of class-based politics.  They analyse the damage done to the movement and the 'spirit of 2014' by the development of the SNP into a 'cartel' party holding the reins of patronage in Scotland and the extensive cultivation of the party leadership by elite interests who may not support independence but are trying to ensure that they will control it in case it happens. On the positive side, they try to map out how we can make independence work for ordinary Scots and also make us an encouraging example for others. -- Isobel Lindsay, vice-chair of Scottish CND and co-convener of the Scottish Independence Convention.\u003cbr\u003eScottish independence would deserve leftwing support only if it promised popular sovereignty and anti-capitalist social transformation. It could then prove a historic milestone for the whole of Britain currently suffocating under a privileged elite and its reactionary state.

The red squirrel, although rare, is among the most cherished of native species. Grey squirrels, by contrast, are one of the most frequently seen wild creatures in our gardens, parks, towns and countryside, and many Britons consider it to be a foreign interloper, introduced from North America in the late nineteenth century. By examining this animal's colonization of Britain, Peter Coates also explores timely issues of belonging, nationalism, citizenship and the defence of borders within Britain today. Ultimately, though people are swift to draw distinctions between British squirrels and squirrels in Britain, Squirrel Nation shows that Britain's two squirrel species have much more in common than at first appears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Possibly no other creature has attracted more emotion or controversy in the British nation than squirrels - at least since the rambunctious greys first arrived from America in 1876 to begin spreading beyond their welcome to foster rifts with the local reds. Yet it is precisely such squirrel antics that allow us to better understand our own human world, from childrens' storybooks to national anthems, from beer to royal families. If the odd grey squirrel became an \"aggressive thug\", maybe the red squirrel really did show a \"stiff upper lip\". Peter Coates's revealing tales of squirreldom have the very serious purpose of exposing the biases, compassions, wits and dreams of the British people themselves, who have been busy tussling with each other as they tussle with these cuddly creatures.

He wants them to step back from prejudice and an obsession with brute force and to open their eyes. He wants them to find in themselves the generosity of spirit needed in order to take a chance on peace, whether in the form of two states or a single binational entity or, perhaps, some kind of confederation. -- David Shulman * New York Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eThe ideas might sound strange in their departure from conventional wisdom about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the positions of leaders and pundits on both sides, but it's good policy to pay attention. In the past, Sari Nusseibeh has taken positions that his fellow Palestinians condemned—and then, a couple of uprisings and aborted peace conferences later, embraced. -- Haim Watzman * Chronicle of Higher Education *\u003cbr\u003eNusseibeh's informal style, urgent and passionate, and especially his call to sit down with the enemy, will engage all sides in intense debate. -- Hazel Rochman * Booklist *\u003cbr\u003eThere is nothing like it in the literature of this conflict.
