I was only half-joking when I suggested the OT. No, it wasn't a transcription, but neither is any history so I do think it is a fairly useful book for understanding the general sociological processes related to theories of ethnic superiority.
But, the half-joke was a result of ignorance. I don't know of any book that rationally and objectively argues for the value of a single ethnic state. I can't imagine such a theory devoid of a claim of religious superiority. Can anyone think of a counterexample?
It seems to me to be an impossible ideal to hold in a world of free individual choice. Sexual attraction crosses ethnic lines, so any single ethnic state, unless isolated on an island, will have to forbid sex and love between different ethnic groups. This is hard to enforce and will ultimately undermine the idea of ethnic purity and superiority. (assuming that the political theory is based on a claim to ethinic superiority--perhaps all theories are not)
