 Heidi Beirich and Kevin Hicks. "Chapter 7: White Nationalism in America". In Perry, Barbara. Hate Crimes. Greenwood Publishing, 2009. p.119. "One of the primary political goals of white nationalism is to forge a white identity".
 "White Nationalism, Explained". The New York Times. 21 November 2016. "White nationalism, he said, is the belief that national identity should be built around white ethnicity, and that white people should therefore maintain both a demographic majority and dominance of the nation’s culture and public life. [...] white nationalism is about maintaining political and economic dominance, not just a numerical majority or cultural hegemony". 

Overview

Many believers of White nationalism see certain countries – often theirs – as being countries that are for White people only. In this paper, nationalism is termed "identity content" and patriotism "relational orientation". Often, supporters of white nationalism also support Nazism, White supremacy, Ku Klux Klan and racist policies towards minorities. 

A modern example of White nationalism being put into practice is the apartheid in South Africa (1948 – 1994) under the National Party's (NP) one-party rule, 



  when non-White South Africans were subject to racial segregation from White South Africans and went through decades of hardship.

Examples

Afrikaner nationalism

Afrikaner nationalism (Afrikaans: Afrikanernasionalisme) is widely considered a modern example of White nationalism. It is an ethnonationalist ideology originated in 19th-century South Africa among a European ethnic group called the Afrikaners, who descended from mainly Dutch settlers. 






Idea

Afrikaner nationalism is the idea that Afrikaners are the chosen people and that Afrikaners who speak their language should unite to fight off foreign influences from Jews, British-descended English-speaking settlers of South Africa, Black people and Indian people.

Supporters

A major supporter was the secret group Broederbond and the National Party (NP) that ruled the country from 1948 to 1994. Other groups that supported the Afrikaner nationalist ideology included but not limited to the Federation of Afrikaans Cultural Organisations (Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniginge , FAK), the Institute for Christian National Education (NE) and the White Workers' Protection Association (WWPA).

Academic views

The historian T. Dunbar Moodie described Afrikaner nationalism as a type of civil religion that had combined the history of the Afrikaners, their language and Afrikaner Calvinism as key symbols.
