| Abstract | "An examination of how contemporary white nationalist thinkers appropriate ancient Greek and Roman history to legitimize racist and authoritarian ideologies. Blending classical studies, intellectual history, and analysis of modern extremism, the book exposes how selective readings of antiquity are used to promote violence, exclusion, and political oppression today." -- Adapted from publisher's description. |
