Description: White supremacist groups are highly secretive so their public propaganda tells us little about their operations or the people they attract. To understand the world of organized racism it is necessary to study it from the inside by talking to their members and observing their groups. Doing so reveals a disturbing picture of how fairly ordinary white people learn to embrace the vicious ideas and dangerous agendas of white supremacism. This book takes the reader inside organized racism revealing the kind of women and men who join groups such as the Ku Klux Klan or neo - Nazi skinheads and what they do in those groups. The volume collects significant published works from renowned scholar Kathleen M. Blee's work on racist activism alongside new essays on the theories methods and approaches of studying racist activism. Discussing topics such as emotional issues in research the place of violence and hate in white supremacism and how women are involved in racial terrorism Blee makes use of a range of sources including oral histories ethnographic observations and interviews to shape her findings. Written by the pioneer and leading scholar of women in racist activism this volume is essential reading for students scholars and general readers interested in the areas of social movements politics race studies and American history.
