White But Not Quite: Central Europe’s Illiberal Revolt: A Rejoinder
Race, racialisation, and the East of the European Union: An Introduction
Racial capitalism requires that the subaltern periphery, providing cheap labour and new markets, be placed behind an imagined racial barrier, so that the full protection of the liberal state is not extended to it. This has applied also to the ‘Eastern enlargement’ of the EU. The East has had to compete with a much richer and more powerful West. When, inevitably, the East was unable to ‘catch up’, its ‘failure’ was attributed to its alleged histor…

White But Not Quite: Central Europe's Illiberal Revolt
Since the ‘migration crisis’ of 2016, long-simmering tensions between the Western members of the European Union and its ‘new’ Eastern members – Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary – have proven to be fertile ground for rebellion against liberal values and policies.In this startling and original book Ivan Kalmar argues that Central Europe illiberalism is a misguided response to the devastating effects of global neoliberalism which ar…
White but Not Quite: Central Europe's Populist Revolt
Inclusive Nationhood: Reflections on Tariq Modood's Essays on Secularism and Multiculturalism

Zwischen Putin und Trump: Orbáns illiberale Demokratie und das Spektakel des Sports in Ostmitteleuropa
Wie schaffen es illiberale Politiker, mit einer Politik gewählt zu werden, die gegen die Interessen ihrer Wähler verstößt? Eine mögliche Antwort ist, dass sie Spektakel als Ersatz für Debatten und politische Auseinandersetzung bieten. Mit den Arbeiten von Roland Barthes zu Mythologie und von Guy Debords zu Spektakeln argumentiere ich, dass für illiberale Führungsspitzen wie Putin, Trump und Orbán das Spektakel des Sports dazu dient, die Debattenk…
Islamophobia in Germany, East/West: An introduction
In this Introduction to a Special Issue on Islamophobia East/West, we provide a general review of the topic. Despite similarities in Islamophobia between East and West Germany, significant contrasts persist. While scholars have understood them as residues of communist rule, here we argue for the importance of what followed its downfall. First, we sketch out the history of Islamophobia in post-reunification Germany. We suggest that the othering of…
Islamophobia and anti-antisemitism: The case of Hungary and the ‘Soros plot’
The more than a million, mostly Muslim, arrivals in the European Union in recent years have given mainstream politicians an opportunity to generate and exploit the public racist, xenophobic and ultra-nationalist urges of the sort that had previously been the exclusive preserve of the extreme right. This successful vote-getting strategy hingeS on disassociating ethno-religious hatred, which Islamophobia is, from its most stigmatized example in Eur…
The east is just like the west, only more so: Islamophobia and populism in Eastern Germany and the East of the European Union
Islamophobia in Eastern Germany and in East Central Europe has very similar characteristics to Islamophobia in Western Europe and the USA. The difference, of degree rather than kind, is in the success of Islamophobia as a political instrument. This is somewhat more pronounced in the East of Germany and of the European Union as a whole. It is a mistake to attribute this difference mainly to the alleged authoritarian heritage of ‘Eastern Europe’. M…
The battlefield is in Brussels’: Islamophobia in the Visegrád Four in its global context
A common popular and scholarly opinion of Islamophobia in the so-called ‘Visegrád Four’ or ‘V4’ (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) sees it as caused by circumstances unique to Eastern Europe. Specifically to blame, it is alleged, is a distinctive local history of intolerance, especially antisemitism, and the fact that under socialism these countries were exempt from the post-war soul-searching that took place in Western Europe. Kalmar…

Orientalizing the Jew: Religion, Culture, and Imperialism in Nineteenth-Century France, by Julie Kalman
This relatively short book by Julie Kalman consists of three main chapters, each corresponding to one of the items in the subtitle. Chapter One is on religion. Chapter Two is about literature, and is also meant to be about painting and, to an even lesser extent, architecture. Chapter Three is dedicated to France’s imperial enterprise. In fact, although Kalman claims to make a broad foray into such general topics, each chapter is quite limited in …
The Turks of Prague: The Mundane and the Sublime
Benjamin Disraeli, Romantic Orientalist
Of Edward Said's many passions, Joseph Conrad was among the most persistent. That a Polish-English writer of nineteenth-century colonial fiction should be the hero of the author of Orientalism might challenge those, among both Said's friends and enemies, who misread his work as a condemnation of major Western writers and thinkers who shared their period's Eurocentric prejudice. Said fully recognized Conrad's 'uncompromising Eurocentric vision,' y…
Moorish Style: Orientalism, the Jews, and Synagogue Architecture
he Jerusalem Street synagogue is located in uptown Prague, away from the hustle and bustle of the touristyJewish Town. Still, on Saturday mornings a few stray tourists find their way to the prayer room up the unlit stairs, making sure there is a quorum. This time there is a couple from England and a young Israeli of Libyan origin. They are shown around the darkened sanctuary. The dim light filtering in through the horseshoe-shaped windows reveals…

Cantonese and non-Cantonese students of the Guangzhou (Canton) Foreign Language Institute took part in a matched-guise experiment, expressing judgments about two samples of speech produced by the same person but presented as coming from two different speakers. In one sample the person spoke good Putonghua (Mandarin), in the other a Putonghua heavily influenced by Cantonese. All judges tended to agree that what they thought was the better Putonghu…

A. Schweizer, Problems in the sociology of language in contemporary American linguistics. Leningrad, 1971
The scope of this book is indeed as restricted as the title suggests. Only four topics are treated: linguistic relativism, social differentiation of languages (looking primarily at diglossia and bilingualism), language planning, and sociolinguistic typologies. No justification is given for this selection from what the author has elsewhere characterized as a 'vast and somewhat loosely defined field of studies' (Language in Society I,303). Russian-…
