Vanguardists build small organizats made up of a highly dedicated cadre and plan a naked seizure of power. Drawing on writings from Oswald Spengler and Francis Parker Yockey, these white natalists constructed a narrative about the death of Western civilizat, where white natalists are patriotic race riors hawking their ideas at shows, in print and in online forums. Product DescriptMore than fifteen years in the making, and Politics is the most comprehensive history to date of the white supremacist movement as it has evolved over the past three-plus decades. Leonard Zeskind draws heavily upon court documents, racist publicats, and first-person reports, along with his own personal observats.?An internatally recognized expert on the subject who received a MacArthur Fellowship for his work, Zeskind ties together seemingly disparate strands-from neo- skinheads, to Holocaust deniers, to Christian Identity churches, to David Duke, to the militia and beyond. Among these elements, two political strategies-mainstreaming and vanguardism-vie for dominance. Mainstreamers believe that a majority of white Christians will eventually support their cause. Vanguardists build small organizats made up of a highly dedicated cadre and plan a naked seizure of power. Zeskind shows how these facts have evolved into a normative social movement that looks like a demographic slice of white America, mostly blue-collar and working middle class, with lawyers and Ph.D.s among its leaders.?When the Cold ended, tradital conservatives helped birth a new white natalism, most evident now among anti-immigrant organizats. With the dawn of a new millennium, they are fixated on predicts that white people will lose their majority status and become one minority among many. The book concludes with a look to the future, elucidating the growing threat these groups will pose to coming generats.From Publishers WeeklyJournalist Zeskind delivers a thorough, if scattered, dossier on white natalist politics in America from the end of I to the present, focusing closely on three plotters on the fringe of the American mainstream: Willis Carto, William and David Duke. Among the books dizzying investigats of neo-Confederates, skinheads, survivalists, tax protestors, Second Amendment nuts and anti-Semites, these three men loom largest as the provocateurs and grandhers of racist politics. Drawing on writings from Oswald Spengler and Francis Parker Yockey, these white natalists constructed a narrative about the death of Western civilizat, where white natalists are patriotic race riors hawking their ideas at shows, in print and in online forums. With the breadth of an encyclopedia, this book features a staggering number of actors, publicats, flashpoints and organizats, such as the Posse Comitatus movement, which denies all of the Constituts amendments after the 14th, prints community money and seeks independence from ZOG (the Zist Occupat Government). Zeskinds rigorously researched and eloquent book is a definitive history of white natalism and contains alarming nings for a resurgence in racist politics.(May)Copyright ?
