Global Identitarianism is about the global spread of the new
far-right ideology and social movement Identitarianism. Founded in
France in 2003, Identitarianism has inspired a range of groups such
as Generation Identity in Europe and the alt-right in America. It
has been spread by a far-right constellation that includes white
nationalist direct action groups, think tanks, 'alternative media'
organizations, social media 'celebrities', and political
candidates. This book explores the global reach of this contentious
far-right social movement using examples from Europe, North
America, Australia, and South America. It will be essential reading
for scholars and activists alike with an interest in race
relations, fascism, extremism, migration studies, and social
movements.

What do Mexico's Zapatistas, the French National Front, Slow Food,
rave subculture, and al-Qaeda all have in common? From right-wing
to left-wing to no-wing, they all proudly proclaim their mission to
defend their distinctive identities against modernity's
homogenizing processes. This controversial book establishes
fundamental similarities between anti-globalization "aurora"
movements that aim to destroy the modern world and bring a radiant
new dawn to humankind.
While these groups often despise one another, they nonetheless
share many fundamental characteristics, goals, and attitudes.
Drawing on the original writings and actions of various
anti-globalist groups, the authors reveal a common tendency toward
charismatic leadership, good versus evil worldviews, the quest for
authentic identity, concern with ritual, and unbending demands for
total commitment. These movements, however they pursue world
transformation and personal transcendence, are a prominent and
continuing aspect of our present condition. This book is a strong
reminder that, no matter what the cause, revolution is not a thing
of the past and the fervent search for another world continues.
The Identitarians are a quickly growing ethnocultural transnational
movement that, in diverse forms, originated in France and Italy and
has spread into southern, central, and northern Europe. This timely
and important study presents the first book-length analysis of this
anti-globalist and anti-Islamic movement. Jose Pedro Zuquete, one
of the leading experts in this field, studies intellectuals, social
movements, young activists, and broader trends to demonstrate the
growing strength and alliances among these once disparate groups
fighting against perceived Islamic encroachment and rising
immigration. The Identitarian intellectual and activist uprising
has been a source of inspiration beyond Europe, and Zuquete ties
the European experience to the emerging American Alt Right, in the
limelight for their support of President Trump and recent public
protests on university campuses across the United States. Zuquete
presents the multifaceted Identitarian movement on its own terms.
He delves deep into the Identitarian literature and social media,
covering different geographic contexts and drawing from countless
primary sources in different European languages, while
simultaneously including many firsthand accounts, testimonies, and
interviews with theorists, sympathizers, and activists. The
Identitarians investigates a phenomenon that will become
increasingly visible on both sides of the Atlantic as European
societies become more multicultural and multiethnic, and as
immigration from predominantly Muslim nations continues to grow.
The book will be of interest to Europeanists, political scientists,
sociologists, and general readers interested in political extremism
and contemporary challenges to liberal democracies.
