The White Pedestal: How White Nationalists Use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate by Curtis Dozier is a powerful exploration of how extremist movements weaponize the classical world. Dozier shows how white nationalist thinkers selectively reinterpret Plato, Sparta, Roman history, and the mythology of “Western civilization” to legitimize violence, exclusion, and racial hierarchy.
Curtis Dozier is Associate Professor of Greek and Roman Studies at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. He is the author of The White Pedestal: How White Nationalists Use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate and the director of the website Pharos: Doing Justice to the Classics (doingjusticetotheclassics.org) where he documents examples of appropriations of Greco-Roman antiquity by hate-groups.
