Prompted in part by the near-simultaneous rise of far-right parliamentary neo-nationalist parties in Europe, editors Gingrich (social anthropology, U. of Vienna, Austria), Banks (visual anthropology, U. of Oxford, UK), and their contributors undertook to analyze these movements through an anthropological lens that focuses on questions of historical consciousness, ideologies of identity, globalization, and the symbolism of nationalism. After a pair of chapters address theoretical and methodological concerns, case studies of neo-nationalist movements in Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Italy, and France are presented. These are followed by more general discussions of European neo-nationalism and a pair of comparative chapters discussing India's Hindu-identity Bharatiya Janata Party and new rightists in Australia.
