Opis

Spreading Hate offers a history of the modern white power movement, describing key moments in its evolution since the end of World War Two. Daniel Byman focuses particular attention on how the threat has changed in recent decades, examining how social media is changing the threat, the weaknesses of the groups, and how counterterrorism has shaped the movement as a whole. Each chapter uses an example, such as the Christchurch mosque shooter Brenton Tarrant orthe British white hate band Skrewdriver, as a way of introducing broader analytic themes.

Recenzje

In eight chapters, Byman weaves together events and networks in the United States, Europe and New Zealand to paint a sweeping narrative of white supremacy. This attention to transnational linkages is welcome in a literature that tends to focus on case-studies of single countries or organizations.
