Description
With this book, Porter offers readers a new explanation for the emergence of xenophobic, authoritarian nationalism in Europe. Focusing on 19th-century Poland, he traces the transformation of revolutionary patriotism into a violent anti-Semitic ideology. Instead of deterministically attributing this charge to the "forces of modernization", Porter argues that the language of hatred and discipline was central to the way "modernity" itself was perceived--or perhaps "imagined"--by fin-de-siècle intellectuals.

Media Reviews
An extensively researched and perceptive analysis * American Historical Review *
The book is a very welcome addition to the historiographies of both Poland and nationalism, bringing an expanded base of sources, fresh hypotheses, and skillfull discussion to familiar topics. It succeeds admirably in being at once provocative and authoritative in its scholarship and simultaneously empathetic and critical toward the subject matter * American Historical Review *
