Description
An introduction to the personalities and systems of rightist repression, this book shows how radical right groups have made electoral headway in France, Germany and Israel, and how they are increasingly making headlines in other countries in both the East and West. The phenomenon is not just about skinheads and jackboots; many official governments shelter radical rightism and even sponsor it outright. The essays in this collection examine the historical and intellectual background of various rightist groups, the way each group fits within the context of social movements theory, and the assessment of relative electorial participation and success. The authors conclude with an evaluation of the likely future success of the various rightist movements.
