Leonard Zeskind, an internationally recognized expert on the subject, ties together seemingly disparate strands—from neo-Nazi skinheads, to Holocaust deniers, to Christian Identity churches, to David Duke, to the militia and beyond. Among these organizations, 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 organizations of a highly dedicated cadre and plan a naked seizure of power. Zeskind shows how these factions 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 PhDs among their leaders. When the cold war ended, traditional conservatives helped birth a new white nationalism, most evident now among anti-immigrant organizations. With the dawn of a new millennium, they are fixated on predictions that white people will lose their majority status and become one minority among many—and the book concludes with a look to the future, elucidating the growing threat these groups will pose to coming generations. </DIV> 5927551 12 5 2009 Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement from the Margins to the Mainstream total:16|5:4|4:4|3:7|2:0|1:1| 16 58 58 9 4 0 false false Sat Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 20:13:07 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 08:35:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Tue Jul 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 01:08:25 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 19:31:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Nov 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 18:19:12 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 18:21:51 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 2 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 09:27:02 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 14:33:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 07:52:59 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 07:54:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed May 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 09:10:17 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 09:14:24 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 17:37:43 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 17:38:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 29 08:36:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 08:36:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 07 10:18:24 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 17 09:05:37 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 07 10:18:24 -0700 2009 http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/... ]]> 0 0 false false Tue Dec 01 06:45:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 01 06:45:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 24 20:00:34 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 20:00:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 20:48:23 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 20:48:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 05 20:39:09 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 20:39:09 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Nov 17 12:27:25 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 11:32:43 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 11:32:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 14:47:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 14:47:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 14:54:14 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 14:55:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 30 08:06:32 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 08:06:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 29 22:36:26 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 22:36:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 29 09:12:55 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 09:12:55 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Sep 23 16:36:18 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 16:36:18 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=5755825
