Drawing explicit lines, across time and a broad spectrum of violent
acts, to provide the definitive field guide for understanding and
opposing white supremacy in America Hate, racial violence,
exclusion, and racist laws receive breathless media coverage, but
such attention focuses on distinct events that gain our attention
for twenty-four hours. The events are presented as episodic
one-offs, unfortunate but uncanny exceptions perpetrated by lone
wolves, extremists, or individuals suffering from mental
illness-and then the news cycle moves on. If we turn to scholars
and historians for background and answers, we often find their
knowledge siloed in distinct academic subfields, rarely connecting
current events with legal histories, nativist insurgencies, or
centuries of misogynist, anti-Black, anti-Latino, anti-Asian, and
xenophobic violence. But recent hateful actions are deeply
connected to the past-joined not only by common perpetrators, but
by the vast complex of systems, histories, ideologies, and personal
beliefs that comprise white supremacy in the United States.
Gathering together a cohort of researchers and writers, A Field
Guide to White Supremacy provides much-needed connections between
violence present and past. This book illuminates the career of
white supremacist and patriarchal violence in the United States,
ranging across time and impacted groups in order to provide a
working volume for those who wish to recognize, understand, name,
and oppose that violence. The Field Guide is meant as an urgent
resource for journalists, activists, policymakers, and citizens,
illuminating common threads in white supremacist actions at every
scale, from hate crimes and mass attacks to policy and law.
Covering immigration, antisemitism, gendered violence, lynching,
and organized domestic terrorism, the authors reveal white
supremacy as a motivating force in manifold parts of American life.
The book also offers a sampling of some of the most recent
scholarship in this area in order to spark broader conversations
between journalists and their readers, teachers and their students,
and activists and their communities. A Field Guide to White
Supremacy will be an indispensable resource in paving the way for
politics of alliance in resistance and renewal.
