| Summary |
"With "race" being discredited as a rallying cry for populist movements because of the atrocities committed in its name during World War II, "culture" has been adopted by right-wing groups instead and used in the same exclusionary manner. This volume examines the essentialism, which is implicit in racial theories and re-emerges in the ideological use of cultural identity in new rightist movements. It presents case studies from different parts of the world where researchers were confronted with racism and worked out ways of coping with it."--BOOK JACKET |
