American Swastika takes readers through hidden enclaves of hate in America, exploring how White Supremacy movements thrive nationwide, even in a nation that preaches equality and tolerance, and looks toward how we can work to prevent future violence. Drawing on over a decade of research and interviews, the authors explain the difference between various hate groups, then show readers how White Supremacy groups cultivate their membership and ideals through Aryan homes, parties, rituals, music festivals, and online. Powerful case studies, first person accounts, and interview excerpts illustrate the authors' points throughout the book.
