Reviews

"The book aims to let Identitarians talk with their own voices about how they perceive the threats to Europe. José Pedro Zúquete is one of the leading experts in this field and uses an impressive variety of sources in several languages." --Carlos de la Torre, University of Kentucky


"The Identitarian movement represents a serious challenge to contemporary Western democracies, though it remains mysterious to most political observers. With The Identitarians, José Pedro Zúquete has established himself as the world's leading expert on the subject. Thorough, dispassionate, and readable, The Identitarians helps us make sense of this disruptive political moment. It will be the most useful and important resource on this subject for many years to come." --George Hawley, University of Alabama


"Zúquete's book describes the historical development of this movement and provides thorough detail of the people who have propagated these views (mostly) across mainland Europe (especially in France and Italy)." --Process North


"From this perspective, Zúquete offers a highly analytical account of the Identitarian movement in Europe--a movement that is diverse in terms of its composition but united by its call for actions aimed at defending Europe's identity, integrity, and distinctiveness." --Choice


"The Identitarians: The Movement against Globalism and Islam in Europe describes the Identitarians as a 'quickly growing ethnocultural transnational movement that, in diverse forms, originated in France and Italy and has spread into southern, central, and northern Europe' at the beginning of the 2000s." --The Week


"José Pedro Zúquete provides a clear, thorough understanding of the Identitarian movement: its origins, its connections to other political/ideological traditions and movements, its beliefs, and the actions its members have taken. It breaks new ground by offering a comprehensive look at a phenomenon that is ongoing and constantly changing. I believe this book will become the standard reference for the Identitarian movement in Europe for a few years and, depending on developments in the movement and Europe more broadly, perhaps longer." --Ian Reifowitz, SUNY Empire State College


"José Pedro Zúquete's The Identitarians: The Movement against Globalism and Islam in Europe is the definitive book on the Identitarian movement." --Cas Mudde, author of The Far Right Today


"[Zuquete's] coverage of the major players in the Identitarian movement is comprehensive and his analysis is superlative. His book will be of great interest to those people who want to know more about a movement whose impact is likely to increase in the years ahead." --The Journal of Social, Political and Economic Studies


"José Pedro Zúquete does us all a service in this detailed, scholarly examination of what one strand of the European right, the 'Identitarians', do and think." --The Irish Catholic
