"The early twenty-first century has witnessed a rising number of global crises. These include climate change, widening income inequality, military and nuclear tensions between the major powers, repeated outbreaks of global pandemics, and an ongoing democratic recession. In particular, the deepening democratic recession has afflicted ostensibly both mature and newer democracies – contradicting theories of political development. In many countries, the political alliance between ethno- and religious nationalists has reignited assaults against democratic institutions, processes, and norms. This comparative country-case study, principally of Malaysia and the United States of America (US), explores the alliance between ethno- and religious nationalists by examining the forces and factors that have contributed to this combustible dynamic within the context of unsettled national questions, contested constitutional orders, and foundational national visions. Also examined are the narratives of fear, victimhood and privilege that have galvanised religious and ‘sons of the soil’ ethno-nationalists in resisting the building of inclusive multiracial democracies."

"This book is a political biography of Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX (1912-88), one of Indonesia's most respected founding fathers. Altough revered and admired at home and abroad, this is his first biography in English. This is largely because the Sultan was an intensely private person who meticulously guarded his public persona, and information about his life is not readily accessible."

"Vaishnava sadhu. Arya Samajist. Buddhist monk. Hindi nationalist. Communist. These are the identities Rahul Sankrityayan (1893-1963), born a sanatani Brahmin, donned during the early 20th century. Widely known in the field of Buddhist studies and Hindi literature, Sankrityayan was also a prolific writer whose varied ideological stances have baffled his critics and admirers alike. While several works have tried to analyse Sankrityayans life through the lens of these identities, few have delved deep into the ambivalence that marked his thoughts and writings as he shifted his allegiance between these identities. A Freethinking Cultural Nationalist takes, as its starting point, the insight that Sankrityayans personality was a product of the Indian renaissance period, and situates his life and work critically within the wider framework of his times. By exploring the thread that held together the different aspects of his personality, it presents a multifaceted picture not just of the man, but of India itself. Alaka Atreya Chudal focuses attention on Sankrityayans affiliation to the Arya Samaj, his contributions to Buddhist studies, his efforts to enrich Hindi literature and support Hindi nationalism, and his adaptation of Marxism to the Indian context, in other words, a whole lifes work, in which each of the elements fructifies the others. A separate concern is to delineate how Sankrityayan made his influence felt beyond Indias borders, in neighbouring Nepal."

"This book is a full-scale history of Irish nationalists in the United States from the brief exile of Theobald Wolfe Tone, founder of Irish republican nationalism, in Philadelphia on the eve of the 1798 Irish rebellion to the role of Bill Clintons White House in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland. Irish American nationalism is seen as an example of a larger phenomenon, sometimes called diasporic or long-distance nationalism. Into the narrative are woven a number of the analytical perspectives that have recently transformed the study of nationalism, including its imagined or invented character and its relationship to the waves of global migration from the early nineteenth century to the present (and especially the relationship of nationalist politics to the phenomenon of political exile). The book focuses also on Irish American nationalists larger social and political vision, which sometimes expanded to embrace causes such as the abolition of slavery, womens rights, or freedom for British colonial subjects in India and Africa, and at other times narrowed, avoiding or rejecting such extraneous concerns and connections. All of these themes are placed within a thoroughly transnational framework, with attention to events in Ireland, the United States, and the wider Irish diaspora."
