Ethnic Nationalism and State Power

The Rise of Irish Nationalism, Afrikaner Nationalism and Zionism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This controversial book rejects the view that the growth of Irish nationalism, Afrikaner nationalism and Zionism was due primarily to issues of race, religion or language. Instead, drawing on a new analytical framework and close historical analysis, it shows how their ultimate success was the result of political, economic and organisational factors conditioned by sustained conflict with the existing state and other ethnic groups.

Rezensionen

"...a study of three successful ethnic nationalisms. It can be of use in understanding current nationalistic struggles because the author has found six broad characteristics that to a greater or lesser degree can determine the outcome." - Washington Times

"His command of the political, economic and cultural history of the three states is impressive..on the whole, Ethnic Nationalism and State Power is very satisfying book." - Nationalism and Ethnic Politics
