{"product_id":"neo-nazi-postmodern-9781350417137","title":"Neo-Nazi Postmodern: Right-Wing Terror Tactics, the Intellectual New Right, and the Destabilization of Memory in Germany since 1989","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the violent skinhead protests of the early 1990s to the National Socialist Underground murder spree of the 2000s and the KSK (\u003ci\u003eKommando Spezialkräfte\u003c\/i\u003e) scandal of 2020, this book traces Germany''s long struggle to suppress a resurgent and ever more terroristic far-right scene.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEsther Elizabeth Adaire analyses the electoral success of the AfD (\u003ci\u003eAlternative für Deutschland\u003c\/i\u003e) party in 2017, the growing presence of PEGIDA on German streets, and the anti-COVID lockdown protests led by conspiracy theorist groups such as \u003ci\u003eQuerdenken\u003c\/i\u003e which have taken aback liberal onlookers for whom Germany''s robust culture of Holocaust consciousness is supposed to provide a panacea against neo-Nazism. Adaire examines how, since unification, the intellectual \u003ci\u003eNeue Rechte\u003c\/i\u003e has increasingly destabilized the foundations of historical memory and lesson-learning in Germany, often doing so in the pages of mainstream conservative publications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNeo-Nazi Postmodern\u003c\/i\u003e convincingly contends that far-right intellectuals – joined by notable left-wing apostates who brought with them an anti-establishment critique borrowed from the language of postmodernism – have since the early 1990s excused and justified an increasingly violent far-right youth scene, even becoming leaders of this scene themselves. The book therefore traces the development of today''s German far-right throughout several stages, notable scandals, and the ongoing destabilization of memory and truth from unification onwards, showing how previously disparate groups such as neo-Nazis, \u003ci\u003eNeue Rechte \u003c\/i\u003eintellectuals, and political fringe parties merged over time. This far-right scene, Adaire adeptly demonstrates, has come to embody what the historian Walter Laqueur once dubbed ''Postmodern Terrorism'': a mixture of cell-based terror structures, reliance on Internet technologies for organizational purposes, and the sowing of epistemic chaos via informational warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 October 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 232 mm; Width 152 mm; Thickness 18 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781350417137\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dr Esther Elizabeth Adaire","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50127893299450,"sku":"9781350417137","price":30.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9781350417137.jpg?v=1787050507","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/neo-nazi-postmodern-9781350417137","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
