Global Mini-Nationalisms: Autonomy or Independence

Contributions in Political Science #71

by Louis L. Snyder

Many nations--groups sharing linguistic and cultural bonds--still have not found a true homeland. This phenomenon is examined in a scholarly study: Global Mini-Nationalisms. This book--the work of noted historian Louis L. Snyder--provides a comparative examination of the forces of mini-nationalism at work all over the world. Several sections consider the resurgence of nationalist tendencies in the various republics of the Soviet Union, nationalist movements within African countries, and those in the Middle East.

Louis Leo Snyder (1907–1993) was an American-born German scholar who witnessed the Nazi mass meetings and wrote about them in Hitlerism: The Iron Fist in Germany. He predicted Adolf Hitler's rise to power, alliance with Benito Mussolini, and war upon the French and the Jews.

His 1932 book Hitler and Nazism (under the pseudonym Nordicus) predicted Hitler's rise to power. It was the first publication of the complete National Socialist Program.
