Just started this, "Nature and Nationalism:Right-Wing Ecology and the Politics of Identity in Contemporary Germany, " by Jonathan Olsen, St. Martins Press, 1999. Along with Murray Bookchin's, "Re-Enchanting Humanity, " and Janet Biehl & Peter Staudenmeier's work on eco-fascism, good analysis of the most retrograde "ecological" ideologues and parties. On the "multicultural" neo-racism of the French New Right see a Ubiv. of Minnesota Press book by P.A. Taguieff. Taguieff wrote the best criticisms of Alain deBenoist in the Telos special issue on the French New Right from '94 or so. The shocking role of a hero of mine, Rudolf Bahro, the East German neo- marxist author of, The Alternative in Eastern Europe, " is one among many elements in this book by Olsen. See a book published by M.E. Sharpe pubs with contributions by Marcuse, "Red Rudi" Deutschke (RIP), Ernest Mandel and others on Bahro. (Deutschke wrote a book on Lukacs and Lenin that s/b translated.)
