Nationalism and nationalist ideologies and movements Books
Verlag Peter Lang National Narcissism: The Intersection of the
Book SynopsisNational Narcissism offers a groundbreaking anthropological and sociological approach to nationalism through an exposé of the belief systems and psychology of extreme nationalists for whom nationalism is a form of religion. This theoretical approach is illustrated with examples primarily taken from Hungary, with a special focus in two chapters on the role of gender in nationalism. The state of politics and society in Hungary is also examined in a way that steps beyond the usual simplistic, flat narratives of what Hungarians are like', by stressing the broad variety of viewpoints current in Hungarian society, the milieu in which a small minority of extreme nationalists are able to make their voice heard out of proportion to their numbers or political support. The theory offered by National Narcissism has wide-ranging implications for the future study of extremist nationalism in nation-states throughout the world. Sociologists, anthropologists, nationalism studies specialists, social-psychologists, and historians of the recent past in Hungary will find that this theoretical book, richly illustrated with examples from Hungarian society, challenges positive and negative stereotypes about nationalism, extremism, post-communism, central and eastern Europe, the European Union and, not least, about Hungarians themselves.

De Gruyter The Rise and Fall of Greater Syria: A Political
Book SynopsisThe Syrian Social Nationalist Party devoted itself to reviving and unifying the Syrian nation and establishing this nation’s complete independence over its historical homeland, Greater Syria. It continues its struggle today, influencing and shaping Lebanese and Syrian society and politics. Yet, the party remains largely unknown and misunderstood, a condition that stems from the lack of any comprehensive study of it. This book fills this gap. Syrian nationalism and nationalist movements, generally speaking, have been largely neglected and ignored by historians, scholars, and observers of the Middle East. So, too, has the SSNP. The lack of detailed and nuanced analyses has left significant gaps in the party’s rich history unaddressed and enabled the perpetuation of inaccuracies and misperceptions regarding its past. Given this and the party’s ongoing relevance in Lebanon and Syria, a thorough examination of the early history of the SSNP, the political organization and movement that embodied Syrian nationalism’s most explicit, most cogent expression is even more necessary. Based on an extensive and thorough examination of Arabic, French, and English primary sources, the monograph is the first comprehensive, systematic history of the SSNP to date, detailing its struggle to fulfill its nationalist vision and establish a secular, independent state in Greater Syria through a thorough analysis of its formation, evolution, and political activities in Lebanon and Syria. Table of ContentsThe book is divided into four parts, each with three chapters. The Introduction provides a general historical overview of the development of Syrian nationalism and the idea of Greater Syria, contextualizing the formation of Saʿadeh’s political thought and the establishment of the SSNP within this discourse. It also addresses the popular discourse on the SSNP in Lebanon and Syria during the period studied and, briefly, the book’s sources, methodology, and structure. Part One, A New Generation (Chapters 1-3), examines Saʿadeh’s first attempts at political organization and activism in the South American mahjar until his return to Lebanon in 1930, the party’s pre-history. It then analyzes the first six years of the SSNP’s existence, from its inception as a clandestine movement in 1932 through its discovery by French authorities in 1935 and its open political activities until Saʿadeh’s exile in 1938. Significantly, it details the party’s growth, shedding light on its recruitment methods, ideological and organizational development, and its geographic expansion in the urban and rural centers of Lebanon and Syria. Part Two, The War Years (Chapters 4-6), details the party’s activity in the mahjar and Syria and Lebanon from the beginning of Saʿadeh’s de facto exile in 1938 until the end of World War II. The first five years of this period were characterized by an intense confrontation with the French that would take a heavy toll on the party. The beleaguered party would find respite in an alliance forged with leading Lebanese politicians in 1943, but it came at a price: shunning the party’s ideological commitment to Greater Syria. The decision of the party leadership to shun Syrian nationalism would bring it into conflict with Saʿadeh and others who viewed it as a deviation that needed to be corrected and put to an end. Part Three, The Road to a Failed Revolution and Its Aftermath (Chapters 7-9), analyzes the tumultuous period in the party’s history that preceded and then intensified Saʿadeh’s return to Lebanon in March 1947. This period was characterized by internal party strife and renewed confrontation with Lebanese authorities as the party under Saʿadeh reasserted its Syrian nationalist creed, which directly challenged the idea of Lebanese independence. The confrontation reached its apogee in the SSNP’s failed “social nationalist revolution” and Saʿadeh’s subsequent execution in the summer of 1949, after which the party was outlawed in Lebanon and forced to move the center of its activities to Damascus and bide its time in Lebanon. Part Four, Advance and Retreat (Chapters 10-12), examines the ways in which the SSNP acted to shape the emerging regional and domestic orders in accordance with its ideological vision in the 1950s. Its good relations with Chamoun and his government in Lebanon and Shishakli and his regime in Syria enabled the party to develop its strength and expand its influence in both countries. However, a lack of broad popular appeal and poor decision making would lead the SSNP into open conflict with its increasingly powerful rivals the Baʿth and the communists, who succeeded in defeating the party and forcing it to retreat from the Syrian public sphere. In Lebanon, the party would fight to preserve Lebanon’s independence against Communist and Arab nationalist designs but would reap little reward for its efforts following the events of 1958. The Epilogue, The Rise of Factionalism, examines the party’s journey to its present, fractured state, demonstrating how the seeds of factionalism planted in the party’s early years bore their bitter fruit over time. It addresses the party’s activities during the Lebanese Civil War and the Syrian Civil War, its alliance with Hezbollah, and the party’s major splits and their sources. Finally, it provides an assessment of why the SSNP has failed to transform into a mass political movement and obtain significant, lasting political power, and will likely never do so.

De Gruyter Nationalism and Populism: Expressions of Fear or
Book SynopsisNationalism was declared dead too early. At the end of the Cold War, the postnational age was announced and liberalism claimed to have been victorious. Simultaneously, a postnational order was proclaimed. Transnational alliances like the European Union were thought to become much more important in international relations. Instead, we witnessed the rise of various forms of strong nationalisms all over the globe during the early twenty-first century and right-wing parties gaining more and more votes in elections often characterized by heavily nationalist agendas. This volume shows how nationalist dreams and fears determine politics in an age that was supposed to witness a rather peaceful coexistence amongst nations by those who consider transnational ideas more valuable than national demands. The case studies in the book offer explanations of how and why nationalism made its way back to the common consciousness and which elements stimulated the re-establishment of the aggressive nation-state. Continuities of empire, actual or imagined, as well as the role of “foreign-” and “otherness” for nationalist narratives, are key in order to explain how, among other factors, globalization stimulated the rise of twenty-first century nationalisms.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Christianity and National Identity in
Book SynopsisThis collection explores how Christian individuals and institutions whether Churches, church-related organisations, clergy, or lay thinkers combined the topics of faith and national identity in twentieth-century Europe. National identity is understood in a broad sense that includes discourses of citizenship, narratives of cultural or linguistic belonging, or attributions of distinct, national characteristics. The collection addresses Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox perspectives, considers various geographical contexts, and takes into account processes of cross-national exchange and transfer. It shows how national and denominational identities were often mutually constitutive, at times leading to a strongly exclusionary stance against other national or religious groups. In different circumstances, religiously minded thinkers critiqued nationalism, emphasising the universalist strains of their faith, with varying degrees of success. Moreover, throughout the century, and especially since 1945, both church officials and lay Christians have had to come to terms with the relationship between their national and European identities and have sought to position themselves within the processes of Europeanisation. Various contexts for the negotiation of faith and nation are addressed: media debates, domestic and international political arenas, inner-denominational and ecumenical movements, church organisations, cosmopolitan intellectual networks and the ideas of individual thinkers.

Book SynopsisThe Habsburg Monarchy, with the diversity of its peoples, languages and historical regions, was a fascinating "Europe in miniature". Federalism became a hotly contested central theme in the 19th century. The federal laboratory ranged from Metternich's "federal state" to the personal autonomy of the Austromarxists and drafts of a constitution under Franz Ferdinand and Emperor Karl's nationality state from 1918. In addition to federal reform drafts, the book describes the Habsburg Empire as a living federation. This included a common foreign and security policy, the dualistic competition between Austria and Hungary and the increasing independence and cooperation of the Austrian crown lands, especially in modern policy areas such as education, health, welfare and infrastructure. This federal history in the European 19th century leads far beyond the history of the Habsburg Empire to the present day in Europe.

Peter Lang AG Migration und Zuwanderung: Literarische,
Book SynopsisIm Sommer 2015 erinnerten sich Deutsche daran, dass Deutsche nach 1933 in neue Heimaten aufbrechen mussten. Auch trat zutage, dass ältere Deutsche kollektive Erinnerungen noch einmal erlebten: die Erinnerung daran, am Ende des Krieges mit 12 Millionen weiteren selbst als Flüchtling unterwegs gewesen zu sein. Dennoch schlug das helle Sommermärchen von 2015 in Deutschland und in Österreich sehr schnell in schwarze Prophetien um. Der Band präsentiert literarische, ökonomische und soziale Aspekte der Migration. Die Herausgeberinnen sind überzeugt, dass der analytische Blick auf die verschiedensten historisch-politischen Konstellationen, seien diese literarisiert oder faktologisch, helfen wird, die jüngsten Probleme und Erfahrungen in einem schärferen Licht zu sehen. Sie setzen damit gegenwärtiger Aufgeregtheit eine Spannungsbewältigung durch geschichtliche Bildung entgegen.

Peter Lang AG Der Koelner Lischka-Prozess: NS-Verbrechen und
Book SynopsisIm Lischka-Prozess standen von Oktober 1979 bis Februar 1980 drei Mitverantwortliche für die Deportation der jüdischen Bevölkerung Frankreichs während der deutschen Besatzung im Zweiten Weltkrieg vor dem Kölner Landgericht. Die kurze Verhandlungsdauer sowie die Verurteilung der Angeklagten Kurt Lischka, Herbert Hagen und Ernst Heinrichsohn zu mehrjährigen Haftstrafen heben den Prozess von den meisten anderen westdeutschen NS-Strafverfahren ab. Die Studie untersucht den Einfluss der Strafverfolgung auf die öffentliche Debatte um die Shoah in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und in Frankreich. Mithilfe des Ansatzes der Histoire croisée analysiert sie, wie die erinnerungskulturelle Auseinandersetzung um den Lischka-Prozess in beiden Ländern geführt und wechselseitig rezipiert wurde.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Russian Nationalism, Foreign Policy and Identity
Book SynopsisThe contributors to this book discuss the new conjunctions that have emerged between foreign policy events and politicised expressions of Russian nationalism since 2005. The 2008 war with Georgia, as well as conflicts with Ukraine and other East European countries over the memory of the Soviet Union, and the Russian interpretation of the 2005 French riots have all contributed to reinforcing narratives of Russia as a fortress surrounded by aggressive forces, in the West and CIS. This narrative has found support not only in state structures, but also within the larger public. It has been especially salient for some nationalist youth movements, including both, pro- Kremlin organisations, such as "Nashi", and extra-systemic groups, such as those of the skinheads. These various actors each have their own specific agendas; they employ different modes of public action, and receive unequal recognition from other segments of society. Yet many of them expose a reading of certain foreign policy events which is roughly similar to that of various state structures. These and related phenomena are analysed, interpreted and contextualised in papers by Luke March, Igor Torbakov, Jussi Lassila, Marlène Laruelle, and Lukasz Jurczyszyn.Table of ContentsIntroduction, by Marlene Laruelle 1.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon History as Therapy: Alternative History and
Book SynopsisThis astonishing book explores the delusional imaginings of Russia's past by the pseudo-scientific 'Alternative History' movement. Despite the chaotic collapse of two empires in the last century, Russia's glorious imperial past continues to inspire millions. The lively movement of 'Alternative History', diligently re-writing Russia's past and 'rediscovering' its hidden greatness, has been growing dramatically since the collapse of Communism in 1991. Virtually unknown in the West, these pseudo-historians have published best-selling books, attracted widespread media attention, and are a prominent voice in Internet discussions about Russian and world history. Alternative History claims that Russia is much older than Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome; that the medieval Mongol Empire was in fact a Slav-Turk world empire; and that, in the twentieth century, duplicitous foreign powers stabbed Russia in the back and stole its empire. For its followers the key to Russia's greatness in the future lies in ensuring that Russians understand the true wealth of their past. Alternative history has become a popular therapy for Russians still coming to terms with the reality of Post-Soviet life. It is one of the forces shaping a new Russian nationalism and an important factor in the geopolitics of the twenty-first century.

Throughout the chapters, Motyl questions conventional wisdom, exposes its inconsistencies and weaknesses, and encourages readers to rethink their views in light of conceptual clarity, theoretical rigor, elementary logic, and empirical evidence.

Doing so, it focuses on a series of crucial issues and keynote debates in the contemporary Zionist press, particularly in the prominent Zionist newspaper Jüdische Rundschau. The introduction adapts current theories of Zionism, nationalism and postcolonial studies so as to provide a methodological framework of analysis for Diaspora Zionism. It argues that German Zionism is best understood in line with Homi K. Bhabhas notion of hybridity as it was characterized by a close affinity to various forms of German nationalism, while, at the same time, by its own distinctive albeit contradictory or counternarrative transformations of these adapted ideas.

Central European University Press The Historical Construction of National
Book SynopsisA long essay entitled Three Historical Regions of Europe, appearing first in a samizdat volume in Budapest in 1980, instantly put its author into the forefront of the transnational debate on Central Europe, alongside such intellectual luminaries as Milan Kundera and Czesław Miłosz. The present volume offers English-language readers a rich selection of the depth and breadth of the legacy of Jenő Szűcs (1928–1988). The selection documents Szűcs’s seminal contribution to many contemporary debates in historical anthropology, nationalism studies, and conceptual history. It contains his key texts on the history of national consciousness and patterns of collective identity, as well as medieval and early modern political thought. The works published here, most of them previously unavailable in English, provide a sophisticated analysis of a wide range of subjects from the myths of origins of Hungarians before Christianization to the political and religious ideology of the Dózsa peasant uprising in 1514, the medieval roots of civil society, or the revival of ethnic nationalism during the communist era. The volume, with an introduction by the editors locating Szűcs in a transnational context, offers a unique insight into the complex and sensitive debate on national identity in post-1945 East Central Europe.Trade Review"Not only have the three editors assembled a collection of essays previously unavailable as a set but have also produced an accessible and rigorous translation of the texts. Last but not least, they have finally provided (at least for non-Hungarian readers) what was always missing in the excessively cursory discussions of Szűcs’s work: context. This is no minor achievement. Szűcs’s oeuvre deserves a much wider audience and a much wider discussion. It is up to non-Hungarian historians to take up the challenge." https://scholar.google.com/scholar_url?url=https://ojs.elte.hu/hsce/article/download/5433/5300&hl=hu&sa=X&d=9641245107997327584&ei=t1fLZOzQOcizywTom4uICg&scisig=AFWwaebCxyeyKgmWXoli6khHgc0k&oi=scholaralrt&html=&pos=0&folt=kw -- Guido Franzinetti * Historical Studies on Central Europe *"This fine volume makes available seven classic studies with an excellent editorial introduction and further helpful apparatus to contextualize the emblematic Hungarian historian’s oeuvre. Most of the studies address the ‘historical construction of national consciousness’. Besides, the volume also includes a new translation of Szűcs’s seminal contribution to the ‘Central Europe’ debate of the 1980s by way of a grandiose outline of the longue durée development of ‘structures’ in the three historical regions of Europe.

He was quick to dismiss Marxism and used an empirical, rather than an ideological, historical approach.

Brothers Against the Raj is the definitive biography of the Bose brothers, placing them in the context of the Indian freedom struggle and the turbulent international politics of the period.eonard A. Gordon uses material gathered from archives, records and over 150 interviews he conducted with the brothers'' political contemporaries and family members, as well as hundreds of unpublishedetters, to bring toife once more two of India''s most controversialeaders during one of the most significant epochs in Indian history. [A] distinguished book... Mr. Gordon is a thorough scholar... one of the books of the year for 1990. Gordon has done full justice to the Bose brothers, giving them their due and recounting their story in the context of the turbulent times in which theyived. Professor Gordon has... conducted exhaustive and painstaking research and put its fruits into an eminently readable book. Besides, he has skilfully put the story of theirives into the context of the complex politics of India and Bengal of their times. The author is a New Yorker but knows Calcutta well... The entire distinguished family seems to come alive as he writes, but he is careful to paint them with their warts intact. [An] extraordinary, informative, and insightful study of Subhas and Sarat Bose. I have found the book informative and absorbing. [ Gordon has] managed to combine empathy with objectivity- not an easy feat.

Manohar Publishers and Distributors Who is A Brahmin
Book SynopsisBrahmins, originally in charge of the sacred sphere, followed different paths, creating therefore, within the community, many subcultures and ways of apprehending the world. From textual definitions to socio-economic adjustments, political influences and historical evolution, they went through multiple processes of identity building. Brahmin identity is indeed not an absolute notion. The various manifestations of Brahminical identities have to be pictured in contexts defined in connection with specific expressions of otherness. This book aims at understanding this dialogue between identity and otherness, creating phenomena of differentiation. The relations to a Brahmin model, the strategies to remain part of the elite, the discourses on secularism and casteism and identity repercussions of reservation policies in favour of backward populations are some of the factors which can elucidate the construction of such separate identities. So who is a Brahmin?

Pentagon Press China's Discursive Nationalism: Contending in
Book SynopsisDespite its comparatively monolithic-constitutive base in terms of a Han majority, China incessantly struggles to establish its legitimacy, both domestically and internationally, Towards this endeavor, China is increasingly relying on manifestation of soft-power techniques by creating a cultural ambience of the peaceful rise of China to achieve its nationalistic goals, further reinforced by an endemic discourse of nationalism. This work identifies a range of structural as well as personality factors which continue to shape the trajectory of domestic Chinese nationalism and its projection internationally. Beginning with the delineation of nationalism as understood by China's political leadership such as Sun Yatsen and Mao Zedong, a detailed analysis of the Chinese public and sphere in terms of its Internet, Literature, Cinema and Sports, especially the Beijing Olympics in 2008, has been made. The book will be of enduring interest to both scholars and students of Chinese as well as practitioners and policymakers interested in China.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Abbreviations 1.Introduction Nations and Nationalisms Contemporary Perspectives on Chinese Nationalism Discursive Frameworks and Chinese 2.The Nationalist Stalwarts Discourse of the Century of Humiliation Sun Yatsen: The First Modern Patriot Chiang Kai-Shek: The Forgotten Nationalist The May 4th Movement and its Implications on Nationalism The Second Japanese Invasion of China Mao Zedong and His Brand of Nationalism Deng Xiaoping and His tete-a-tere with Nationalism Nationalism in the Post-Deng Era: Deconstructing the White papers The Party as an Institution Propagating Nationalism PLA as an Agent of Nationalism Social Processes and Nationalism Nationalism and Identity Issues Contemporary Chinese Nationalism:"The Manifestation of a Pragmatic and Eclectic Discourse" 3.Nationalism in the Cultural Sphere Conceptualising the Realm of the "Public" Chinese Public Sphere and Construction of the Nation Tiananmen and the Inhibition of Public Space State and the Public: Accommodation or Manipulation?
