    1. In his 1897 essay “The Conservation of Races,” Du Bois asked, “What, after all am I? Am I an American or am I a Negro? Can I be both? Or is it my duty to cease to be a Negro as soon as possible and be an American?”

      strong connections with the very ideas that he found himself struggling with around twenty years later, could he support a war as an American, or did his identity as a person of color and understanding of the foundations of the war as built upon a desire to control and subjugative people of color across the world force him to oppose it

To investigate these hypotheses, I created an election-year-country dataset covering the period from the early 1990s to the present for all post- communist democracies.7 The dataset is structured as a quasi-time series of 93 parliamentary elections in 17 countries from 1991 to 2012, and the depen-dent variable is the natural log of the radical right party’s combined vote share in elections held at time t.

    1. the elites of Eastern Europe were left with the ideology of nationalism as a means to build national states and justify their own power. Nationalism was particularly appealing during this period for three reasons.

      1) by dismissing class & emphasizing ethnicity & language, connected the elite to the masses 2) national minorities=focus for majority nationalism 3) legitimized policies that appeared essential to nation-building, such as education

    2. two conditions continued to limit its dominance almost everywhere in the area.

      Conditions which limited the dominance of nationalism in EE: 1) EE's new state's & autonomous regions remained peasant countries with small elites, ruled by bureaucracies which were self-selected & with an interest in personal power. the Industrial Rev had mostly missed them and middle classes rising to challenge this were v small 2) Middle Classes that DID exist were often from minority ethnic groups, and the high levels of ethnic intermingling meant that their were few boundaries for the creation of ethnically homogeneous nation-states in the West Eu style
