Recenzje

Timely and insightful, Schertzer and Woods fundamentally remind us that nations are not only political but also cultural projects, rooted in repertoires of myths and symbols that ethnic majorities seek to defend against perceived existential threats. This rigorous, thoughtful examination of the rise of ethnic nationalism in the West adeptly anchors the political mobilization of white majorities in the defensive postures that define them while simultaneously explaining the broader historical and cultural contexts that are so often missing from contemporary analyses. An exceptional read!
