Nationalism: The Politics of Identity brings together 15 of Keith Woods’ best essays. With a combination of historical studies and contemporary analysis, Woods takes aim at the critics of nationalism on both the left and the right. Nationalism is not just a perennial phenomenon that has endured throughout history, but a fully defensible worldview that offers the best alternative to the waning liberal order.Reviews＂I wish I knew as much about nationalism as Keith Woods when I was in my twenties. I especially wish I had this book when I was young. Spending a few hours reading it would have saved me years of confusion and searching. So read this book and buy copies of it for promising young people.＂
- Greg Johnson, editor of Counter-Currents Publishing

＂Keith Woods’ recent comet-like reappearance on social media proved he is master of the rapier thrust. But this collection of his essays proves he is master of the intellectual slugfest too. Nobody aware of the coming nationalist revolution can ignore him＂
- Peter Brimelow, Editor of VDARE 1999-2024

＂A garden of delights -- with a few stinging nettles to keep you on your toes.＂
- Jared Taylor, founder and editor of American Renaissance

＂In his first of what I hope will be many books, Keith Woods plants his flag in the realm of political theory. This book explores current events, history, and rebuts of many of the common counter-arguments to nationalism. But what I found to be most enjoyable was his application of timeless ideas to the challenges of contemporary politics. We can best promote Nationalism by building on the rich legacy of our ancestors rather than struggling to reinvent the wheel while bumbling about in the darkness of the modern world.＂
- David Zsutty, Executive Director of the Homeland Institute

＂In this book, Keith Woods, one of the most promising young intellectual activists in the dissident Right, makes a refreshingly consistent case for the moral validity, political expediency, and historical groundedness of ethnonationalism. Ethnonationalism, contrary to liberal political theory, is not an artificial construct superimposed from the outside but a deeply rooted sentiment found among all peoples of the earth who share strong ancestral ties, kinship and cultural affinities. Ethnonationalism should not be equated with imperialism or seen as the source of xenophobia and violence. It is, according to Woods, the most viable way for diverse human groups to organize themselves peacefully in mutual recognition that all ethnic groups have the same need to maintain strong natural bonds with their own kindred and find therein the opportunity to express their highest potentialities in a state of universal benevolence.＂
- Dr. Ricardo Duchesne, author of The Uniqueness of Western Civilization & Canada in Decay

＂A wide-ranging and provocative collection of writings, Keith Woods proves that his grasp exceeds his reach. Woods brings a fair-minded and objective approach to each topic, treating them with a care and precision rarely observed among esteemed, professional academics. This work is more than just a boon to the nationalist cause, for it is also a serious-minded book worthy of inclusion in the Western canon. While indispensable for readers of all ages, this book should be of particular interest to the young, who are undoubtedly growing up in the most confused and chaotic of times.＂
- Josh Neal, author of American Extremist
