Numerous white supremacist movements that have emerged in the past four decades, e.g., Aryan Nations, Posse Comitatus, Montana's Freemen, and Republic of Texas, don't just occupy a fringe space ideologically. As Schlatter argues, these groups also have staked a claim to fringe geography, co-opting the notion of Manifest Destiny and looking to the American West as a symbol of freedom and conquest. A brilliant account of how white supremacy has permeated even the most barren regions of the nation.
