"En la obra "Cataluña entre la sensatez y el delirio. Prensa y opinión" se intenta explicar por qué la sociedad catalana ha llegado a la situación actual de fractura social. ¿O existía ya antes? ¿A qué se debe el auge del independentismo en estos últimos años? Para explicar esto el autor examina lo que nos fue diciendo la prensa. ¿Qué nos dijeron, sobre todo en sus artículos de opinión, los periodistas, escritores e intelectuales? La conclusión es que la prensa sí nos alertó sobre las consecuencias de las políticas nacionalistas. La tesis aquí defendida es que las políticas lingüísticas nacionalistas no estaban permitiendo a los catalanes el ejercicio del derecho constitucional a usar la lengua oficial del Estado y no observaban la norma constitucional que establece el español como lengua oficial del mismo. Se usaron como método de adoctrinamiento en el nacionalismo excluyente. ¿Por qué impuso la Generalitat esta política? Porque había un proyecto de construcción nacional cuyo objetivo último era la independencia. La lengua catalana era la piedra angular de ese edifico nacionalista. Se quería una escuela exclusivamente en catalán para conseguir también una sociedad monolingüe. Este modelo de escuela y este modelo de sociedad que olvida a una gran parte de la población, ha sido por sí mismo un potente adoctrinamiento perverso que durante décadas se ha dado al alumnado de Cataluña. ¿Y cómo se ha podido permitir esto? Porque siempre se argumentó que había que hacer una discriminación positiva a favor del catalán ya que había sido perseguido durante la dictadura de Franco. Además, se decía, ello favorecía la cohesión social. Luego la demagogia, el populismo y el separatismo se aliaron con las consecuencias del adoctrinamiento nacionalista de décadas y así se llegó a los acontecimientos que todos conocimos en el otoño de 2017."--Amazon

"From a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, the powerful story of how a prominent white supremacist changed his heart and mind Derek Black grew up at the epicenter of white nationalism. His father founded Stormfront, the largest racist community on the Internet. His godfather, David Duke, was a KKK Grand Wizard. By the time Derek turned nineteen, he had become an elected politician with his own daily radio show - already regarded as the "the leading light" of the burgeoning white nationalist movement. "We can infiltrate," Derek once told a crowd of white nationalists. "We can take the country back." Then he went to college. Derek had been home-schooled by his parents, steeped in the culture of white supremacy, and he had rarely encountered diverse perspectives or direct outrage against his beliefs. At New College of Florida, he continued to broadcast his radio show in secret each morning, living a double life until a classmate uncovered his identity and sent an email to the entire school. "Derek Black...white supremacist, radio host...New College student???" The ensuing uproar overtook one of the most liberal colleges in the country. Some students protested Derek's presence on campus, forcing him to reconcile for the first time with the ugliness his beliefs. Other students found the courage to reach out to him, including an Orthodox Jew who invited Derek to attend weekly Shabbat dinners. It was because of those dinners--and the wide-ranging relationships formed at that table--that Derek started to question the science, history and prejudices behind his worldview. As white nationalism infiltrated the political mainstream, Derek decided to confront the damage he had done. Rising Out of Hatred tells the story of how white-supremacist ideas migrated from the far-right fringe to the White House through the intensely personal saga of one man who eventually disavowed everything he was taught to believe, at tremendous personal cost. With great empathy and narrative verve, Eli Saslow asks what Derek's story can tell us about America's increasingly divided nature. This is a book to help us understand the American moment and to help us better understand one another"--

Der Autor schildert die wesentlichen Elemente, die die europäische Krise bestimmen: Flüchtlinge; soziale Verwerfungen Nord-Süd; nationalistische Tendenzen in Ungarn, Polen; Brexit; Le Pen, Wilders ...; Globalisierungsängste; "America First". Er berichtet detailliert und mit viel Insiderwissen aus den einzelnen Hauptstädten von Berlin bis Washington D.C. Seiner Auffassung nach liegt es vor allem an Deutschland, den drohenden Niedergang Europas abzuwenden. Deutschland müsse dafür endlich seine "bequeme Rolle als pazifistische Handelsnation" ablegen, um im Verbund mit Frankreich, er setzt grosse Hoffnungen in Merkel und Macron, die Führungsrolle anzunehmen. Die Wahlen 2017 in Deutschland und Grossbritannien sind noch nicht berücksichtigt. Das gut lesbare Buch ist weniger Analyse denn Zustandsbeschreibung mit erhellendem Blick hinter die Kulissen und aufklärenden Bemerkungen zu manchen politischen Entscheidungen. (2-3)

During the 2016 election, a new term entered the mainstream American political lexicon: "alt-right," short for "alternative right." Despite the innocuous name, the alt-right is a white-nationalist movement. Yet it differs from earlier racist groups: it is youthful and tech savvy, obsessed with provocation and trolling, amorphous, predominantly online, and mostly anonymous. And it was energized by Donald Trump's presidential campaign. In Making Sense of the Alt-Right, George Hawley provides an accessible introduction and gives vital perspective on the emergence of a group whose overt racism has confounded expectations for a more tolerant America.Hawley explains the movement's origins, evolution, methods, and core belief in white-identity politics. The book explores how the alt-right differs from traditional white nationalism, libertarianism, and other online illiberal ideologies such as neoreaction, as well as from mainstream Republicans and even Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. The alt-right's use of offensive humor and its trolling-driven approach, based in animosity to so-called political correctness, can make it difficult to determine true motivations. Yet through exclusive interviews and a careful study of the alt-right's influential texts, Hawley is able to paint a full picture of a movement that not only disagrees with liberalism but also fundamentally rejects most of the tenets of American conservatism. Hawley points to the alt-right's growing influence and makes a case for coming to a precise understanding of its beliefs without sensationalism or downplaying the movement's radicalism.

Arab nationalism has been one of the dominant ideologies in the Middle East and North Africa since the early twentieth century. However, a clear definition of Arab nationalism, even as a subject of scholarly inquiry, does not yet exist. 'Arab Nationalism' sheds light on cultural expressions of Arab Nationalism and the sometimes contradictory meanings attached to it in the process of identity formation in the modern world. It presents nationalism as an experiencable set of identity markers - in stories, visual culture, narratives of memory and struggles with ideology, sometimes in culturally sophisticated forms, sometimes in utterly vulgar forms of expression. Drawing upon various case studies, the book transcends a conventional history that reduces nationalism in the Arab lands to a pattern of political rise and decline. It offers a glimpse at ways in which Arabs have constructed an identifiable shared national culture, and it critically dissects conceptions about Arab nationalism as an easily graspable secular and authoritarian ideology modelled on Western ideas and visions of modernity. This book offers an entirely new portrayal of nationalism and a crucial update to the field, and as such, is indispensable reading for students, scholars and policymakers looking to gain a deeper understanding of nationalism in the Arab world.
