Nitzan Shoshan

The Management of Hate

Nation, Affect, and the Governance of Right-Wing Extremism in Germany

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Since German reunification in 1990, there has been widespread concern about marginalized young people who, faced with bleak prospects for their future, have embraced increasingly violent forms of racist nationalism that glorify the countrys Nazi past. The Management of Hate, Nitzan Shoshans riveting account of the year and a half he spent with these young right-wing extremists in East Berlin, reveals how they contest contemporary notions of national identity and defy the clichés that others use to represent them. Powerful and compelling, The Management of Hate provides a rare and disturbing look inside Germanys right-wing extremist world, and shines critical light on a German nationhood haunted by its own historical contradictions.

Rezensionen

"A major accomplishment. At every turn, Shoshan wrestles with the question of how the most discredited ideas and sensibilities of the modern era - ideas that yielded the indelible horrors of the twentieth century - have become persuasive, compelling even, in the new century. The Management of Hate is one of the most important books published in the anthropology of Europe in more than a decade."--Douglas R. Holmes, author of Integral Europe: Fast-Capitalism, Multiculturalism, Neofascism
