This is perhaps the most essential resource for understanding the white power movement in the United States. Using harrowing interviews and observations, Simi and Futrell confirm that white supremacy is thriving and give the reader unprecedented access to the "free spaces" of the movement, where ideology is articulated: birthday parties, punk rock concerts, and rallies.
