A Classic--good to see it available on-line.
Rising Tide will be always remembered in American literature for Tom Buchanan's reference to "this man Goddard" in Fitzgerald's timeless Great Gatsby...

[I]Stoddard was not, as liberal critics like to tar all race-conscious thinkers, a Nazi or anything like it. In fact, he wrote a book critical of Nazi Germany entitled Into the Darkness, and he saw, years before the Nazis became significant, the essential falsehood of their core racial myth:
ââ¬ÅIndeed the national-imperialists presently seized upon race teachings, and prostituted them to their own ends. A notable example of this is the extreme Pan-German propaganda of Houston Stewart Chamberlain and his fellows. Chamberlain makes two cardinal assumptions: he conceives modern Germany as racially purely Nordic; and he regards all Nordics outside the German linguistic-cultural group as either unconscious or renegade Teutons who must at all costs be brought into the German fold. To anyone who understands the scientific realities of race, the monstrous absurdity of these assumptions is instantly apparent. The fact is that modern Germany, far from being purely Nordic, is mainly Alpine in race. Nordic blood preponderates only in the northwest, and is merely veneered over the rest of Germany, especially in the upper classesââ¬Â¦ To let Teuton propaganda gull us into thinking of Germany as the Nordic fatherland is both a danger and an absurdity.ââ¬Â (The Rising Tide of Color p .202)[/I]
Huh? A load of conventional, semi-peecee BS. Mr. Locke doesn't seem to know that National Socialists weren't Nordicist. Actually, AH was more of a German nationalist than a racialist (for e.g., in all of his writings and speeches he uses the vague and ill-defined term "Aryan"), and his ideas on race were common at the time and didn't particularly stand out.

Did Chamberlain preach a Nordic superiority (or at least a Nordic Germany)?
Didn't the Nazis celebrate the "blonde, blue-eyed beast" in state sponsored art?
I ask both questions because I realize that everything I was taught on the subject of Nazi Germany must be presumed untrustworthy, but it seems to me that the answer to both questions is "yes."
Please advise.

First, the Englishman Chamberlain (Sept. 9th, 1855 ââ¬â Jan. 9th, 1927) wasn't a National Socialist nor was he a Nordicist. See [url]http://www.hschamberlain.net/[/url]
Secondly, the German racial ideal has always been the blond and blue-eyed Michel. In that regard the National Socialists didn't invent anything new.

friedrich braun,
I have been a fan of H. S. Chamberlain for many years. His works are great! They are great fun to read too!
