Excellent Introduction to the New Right
13 April 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've read both this book and Tomislav Sunic's book, "Against Democracy and Equality". Although the intentions of both books are the same; to provide the reader with an overview of, and insight into, the European New Right (and in so doing, also gain insight into the nature of the political movements in the United States as well).
Unlike another reviewer of this book here, I do not think it necessary to read Sunic's book first. In fact, I would strongly recommend against this, as I found Sunic's book to be almost unreadable. He's an intelligent man, I'm sure, but I found the language in Sunic's "Against Democracy..." to be so needlessly elevated and abstruse as to make reading an exercise in mental torture.
O'Meara's book, by comparison, is very readable. To be sure one needs to be a literate person to read this book. But frankly anyone expressing an interest in understanding the New Right is already revealing a degree of intellectual capacity and inquisitiveness that should make the reading of "New Culture, New Right" not only possible, but at times a pleasure.
I gave the book only four stars because I am not a promoter of "grade inflation" - whether for students or books. It's an excellent book - and I recommend it without reservation, but I'll reserve five stars for books that are truly exceptional.

Better than nothing
15 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
There is an unfortunate lack of English language books about the European "New Right" movement. So, any one interested in this topic will find this book to be of some use.
Unfortunately, the author has the unhappy gift for taking an interesting topic and making it exceedingly dull. The style is ponderous and pedantic with more footnotes than substance. Too bad, a well written book on this subject would be most welcome.
