Description
Book SynopsisThe project of advanced European integration has followed a complex secular and cosmopolitan agenda. This title provides a perspective on integralism as a form of intimate cultural practice and a violent idiom of estrangement. It looks at one of modern Europe's most unsettling political trends.
Trade Review"The title of this book gives barely a hint of its rich and complex content ... Highly recommended for all social scientists and policy professionals who work on European political and social issues."--Choice "Holmes convinces the reader that integralism plays a large role in shaping mainstream political discourse on Europe as well as in bolstering an explicitly fascist and marginal opposition."--Virginia Quarterly Review
