From rap to folk to punk, music has often sought to shape its
listeners' political views, uniting them as a global community and
inspiring them to take action. Yet the rallying potential of music
can also be harnessed for sinister ends. As this groundbreaking new
book reveals, white-power music has served as a key recruiting tool
for neo-Nazi and racist hate groups worldwide. Reichsrock shines a
light on the international white-power music industry, the fandoms
it has spawned, and the virulently racist beliefs it perpetuates.
Kirsten Dyck not only investigates how white-power bands and their
fans have used the internet to spread their message globally, but
also considers how distinctly local white-power scenes have emerged
in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the United
States, and many other sites. While exploring how white-power bands
draw from a common well of nationalist, racist, and neo-Nazi
ideologies, the book thus also illuminates how white-power
musicians adapt their music to different locations, many of which
have their own terms for defining whiteness and racial otherness.
Closely tracking the online presence of white-power musicians and
their fans, Dyck analyzes the virtual forums and media they use to
articulate their hateful rhetoric. This book also demonstrates how
this fandom has sparked spectacular violence in the real world,
from bombings to mass shootings. Reichsrock thus sounds an urgent
message about a global menace.
