Beyond Hate offers a critical ethnography of the virtual
communities established and discursive networks activated through
the online engagements of white separatists, white nationalists,
and white supremacists with various popular cultural texts,
including movies, music, television, sport, video games, and
kitsch. Outlining the ways in which advocates of white power
interpret popular cultural forms, and probing the emergent spaces
of white power popular culture, it examines the paradoxical
relationship that advocates of white supremacy have with popular
culture, as they finding it to be an irresistible and repugnant
reflection of social decay rooted in multiculturalism. Drawing on a
range of new media sources, including websites, chat rooms, blogs
and forums, this book explores the concerns expressed by advocates
of white power, with regard to racial hierarchy and social order,
the crisis of traditional American values, the perpetuation of
liberal, feminist, elitist ideas, the degradation of the family and
the fetishization of black men. What emerges is an understanding of
the instruments of power in white supremacist discourses, in which
a series of connections are drawn between popular culture,
multiculturalism, sexual politics and state functions, all of which
are seen to be working against white men. A richly illustrated
study of the intersections of white power and popular culture in
the contemporary U.S., and the use of use cyberspace by white
supremacists as an imagined site of resistance, Beyond Hate will
appeal to scholars of sociology and cultural studies with interests
in race and ethnicity, popular culture and the discourses of the
extreme right.
