Summary

This book explores White Supremacy movements in a country that advocates racial equality. The authors explore differences between movements (including the KKK, the Aryan Nation, and Skinheads) and discuss various ways they cultivate, maintain, and spread their beliefs under the radar of most Americans. Through case studies, the authors look at hate in the home, talking with parents who aim to raise "little Hitler" and discussing the impact home schooling and cultural isolation can have on children. The authors also describe Aryan crash pads, Bible studies, and rituals, take readers through the hate music scene from underground bars to massive rallies, and examine how the Internet has shaped communication and created disturbing new virtual communities.
