Publisher's Synopsis
A compelling and disquieting look at America's white separatist movement.
Winner of the Scholarly Achievement Award of the North Central Sociological AssociationSelected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title
Although the white separatist movement stereotype is that of a Southern phenomenon tied to an uneducated and disenfranchised segment of men, sociologists Betty A. Dobratz and Stephanie L. Shanks-Meile show that the movement is in reality more complex and multifaceted. To compile this study, the authors interviewed more than 125 white separatists, attended rallies, congresses, and other gatherings, and examined many movement-generated documents. The result is a compelling book that chronicles the history, ideology, and strategies of the white separatist movement.
