Dancing At Armageddon - Survivalism and Chaos in Modern Times

Klappentext Winner of the Charles H. Cooley Award from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction. Richard G. Mitchell Jr. spent more than a dozen years among survivalists at public conferences! private meetings! and clandestine training camps across America. He takes us inside a compelling! hidden world more connected to the chaos of modern life many of us experience than the label "separatist" suggests. In survivalism Mitchell found a profound and meaningful critique of contemporary industrial society! a subculture in which the real evil is not repressive government but the far more insidious influence of a "Planet Microsoft" mentality with its abundance of empty choices. Survivalists! Mitchell shows us! are seeking resistance! not struggling against it; they are looking for ways to define themselves and test their talents in a society that is becoming devitalized and formless.
