The Identitarians

Más información sobre el libro

The Identitarians represent a rapidly expanding ethnocultural transnational movement that began in France and Italy, now spreading throughout Europe. This significant study offers the first comprehensive analysis of this anti-globalist and anti-Islamic movement. José Pedro Zúquete, a leading expert, examines intellectuals, social movements, and young activists to illustrate the strengthening alliances among these groups opposing perceived Islamic influence and rising immigration. The Identitarian movement has inspired similar sentiments beyond Europe, particularly linking to the American Alt Right, known for their support of President Trump and recent campus protests. Zúquete explores the movement's literature and social media, drawing from a wealth of primary sources in various European languages, alongside firsthand accounts and interviews with theorists and activists. This investigation highlights a phenomenon likely to gain visibility as European societies become more multicultural and as immigration from predominantly Muslim nations increases. The book appeals to Europeanists, political scientists, sociologists, and readers interested in political extremism and the contemporary challenges facing liberal democracies.
