Encyclopedia of White Power: A Sourcebook on the Radical Racist Right: A Sourcebook on the Radical Racist Right

The American Nazy Party, Skinheads, the Aryan Nations, Black Metal, the Ku Klux Klan, Christian Identity. These and other white power groups are sensationalised in the press, policed by private watchdog groups, infiltrated by the government, universally demonised and feared. But who are the white power movement's members and sympathisers? what are their beliefs and their motivations? how do they operate and communicate in a society so antagonistic to their goals? what kind of threat do they pose? Letting the radical racist right speak for themselves, Jeffrey Kaplan has created an reference volume. This book presents the movement's many facets in the US and Europe since World War II. The first half of the volume is encyclopaedia is made up of over 100 in-depth entries - many of them essay-length - and includes several entries by former and current movement activists. The second half brings together original resources from the movement, each prefaced and placed in context by the editor. An introduction places the volume in context of larger issues and includes the editor's own reflections on researching the movement.
