Trad Rights: Making Eurasian Whiteness at the “End of History
This essay addresses how the collapse of the Soviet Union and the conditions of social, political, and economic precarity that followed gave rise to intertwining strands of global New Right thought. Taking up the Russian Right's revanchist-revolutionary vision of neo-Eurasianism and its attendant imaginary of a white Eurasian statehood comparatively in relation to US and Hungarian New Right thought, the essay exposes how the neotraditionalist (Tr…
Introduction: The Returns of Fascism
The Returns of Fascism” addresses the emergence of New Right political culture on a global scale, attending to the intersections in US, European, Russian, and Indian New Right movements and their relation to the history of fascisms and late capitalist thought forms, as well as their attack on humanist critique.

By examining political speeches and propaganda on the Sovi…

Orientalism on the Threshold: Reorienting Heroism in Late Imperial Russia
This article seeks to dislocate Orientalism from its Anglo-French origin by investigating the problem of its theorization in the context of the Russian Empire. I frame Russian Orientalism through the representation of the Caucasus in the Russian imagination as a border space between Europe and Asia. Reading Russian narratives about the Caucasus alongside narratives by Muslim writers of the Caucasus, I challenge the ideologically constructed binar…
