Robert Futrell (Sociology) and Emily Wagner (Sociology Ph.D. student) recently published the third edition of American Swastika: Inside the U.S. White Power Movement's Hidden Spaces of Hate. Co-authored with Pete Simi (Chapman University, UNLV Sociology Alumnus 2002), the book uses powerful case studies, interviews, and first-person accounts, to explain white extremists’ “surprise” return to the American political landscape from networks and ideas long nurtured outside the public eye. It discusses new players in the world of white power and offers a vital perspective on how white supremacy persists and the vigilance required to check its influence.
