Recenzje

'With The Mortality and Morality of Nations, [Abulof] manages to unsettle received truths on ethnonationalism, never shying away from comparisons that are as insightful as they are provocative. This is a timely book and an illuminating journey into the troubled world of ethnonationalists.' Niklas Plaetzer, The Review of Politics
