Jean-Yves Camus is Director of the Observatory of Radical Politics at the Jean Jaurès Foundation, Paris. Nicolas Lebourg is a Research Fellow at the Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (IERES), George Washington University.
A fascinating and comprehensive study that follows more than a
century of the history of far-right movements in Western Europe as
they transform or die and argues that there are no prepackaged
essences to them. I cannot imagine a better way to understand the
current field than to read this book.
*John R. Bowen, author of Why the French Don’t Like Headscarves:
Islam, the State, and Public Space*
Indispensable.
*Foreign Policy*
Camus and Lebourg present an in-depth, thoroughly researched look
at a faction of European political movements.
*Library Journal*
The English-language translation of Jean-Yves Camus and Nicolas
Lebourg’s Far-Right Politics in Europe could not have come at a
more appropriate time with the rise of Golden Dawn in Greece, the
National Front in France, and the transnational ‘Identitaire’
movement, amongst others. Aptly, the authors navigate the long
history of the European far-right, starting with the Ancien Régime
and moving to today…Far-Right Politics gives important insight to
scholars interested in emerging (and converging) Alt-Right
movements. The book weaves in and out of the rise, fall, and
reemergence of far-right movements across European countries,
reminding scholars that, for some, the final chapter of far-right
politics has yet to be written.
*EuropeNow*
[A] wide-ranging survey of far-right parties across
Europe…Provide[s] a troubling account of just how easily
ethno-nationalism can establish itself in a self-consciously
liberal democracy—even one in which ethno-nationalism seemed
permanently discredited because of the way its adherents in an
earlier generation collaborated with fascism…Far-Right Politics in
Europe has much of interest to say about the broad span of
right-wing movements in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and
Eastern Europe; about the influence of thinkers like the
antidemocratic Italian philosopher Julius Evola (a favorite of top
Trump adviser Stephen Bannon) and Alexander Dugin, the intellectual
guru of Putinism; and about the contacts among all of these.
*The Nation*
Far-Right Politics in Europe is timely, important…There are
important insights offered here…Camus and Lebourg also handle the
far Right’s approach to racial difference skillfully.
*Times Higher Education*
A book that tells readers everything they’d ever want to know about
the European far right and more, going all the way back to its
beginnings in, naturally, France.
