Neo-völkisch movements: Difference between revisions

'''Neo-völkisch movements''', as defined by the historian, [[Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke]], cover a wide variety of mutually influencing groups of a radically [[ethnocentric]] character which have emerged especially in the [[English-speaking world]] since [[World War II]]. These loose networks revive or imitate the [[völkisch]] movement of 19th and early 20th century Germany in their defensive affirmation of [[White people|white identity]] against [[modernity]], [[liberalism]], [[immigration]], [[multiracialism]] and [[multiculturalism]].<ref name=GC2002:6>Goodrick-Clarke 2002, p. 6.</ref> Some identify as [[Neo-fascism|neo-fascist]], [[alt-right]], [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]], or [[Third Position]]ist or [[alt-right]] while others are politicised around some form of white [[ethnicwhite nationalism]] or [[identity politics]]<ref name=GC2002:6/> and may show [[neo-tribalist]] paganism tendencies such as the one promoted by [[Else Christensen]]'s [[Odinist Fellowship (United States)|Odinist Fellowship]].<ref>Goodrick-Clarke 2002, p. 261.</ref> Especially notable is the prevalence of devotional forms and [[Esotericism|esoteric]] themes so that neo-völkisch currents often have the character of [[new religious movements]].
