A Story of Sweden's Spiritual Vikings

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, Tomas Poletti Lundström unveils how religion is tightly woven into the political fabric of radical nationalism. He offers the first comprehensive historical analysis of the Sweden Democrats while also providing an in-depth examination of the Nordic Resistance Movement, Swedish identitarian nationalists, and evangelical supremacists.
From Viking discourse and Lutheran nationalism to Pentecostal revivalism, Poletti Lundström explores how religious ideas lie at the heart of Swedish radical nationalism. Drawing on archival studies, digital ethnography, and corpus linguistics, he examines how radical nationalists construe and reinterpret the concept of religion. By tracing the history and global influence of key Swedish actors, Poletti Lundström reveals how their versions of radical nationalism resonate with authoritarian politics worldwide.
This interdisciplinary study is essential reading for scholars and general audiences interested in religious extremism, political nationalism, and the global dynamics of the far right.
