White Lies: Race, Class, Gender and Sexuality in White Supremacist Discourse

Description

White supremacist groups have traditionally been viewed as "fringe" groups to be ignored, dismissed, or at most, observed warily. White Lies investigates the white supremacist imagination, and argues instead that the ideology of these groups is much closer to core American values than most of us would like to believe. The book explores white supremacist ideology through an analysis of over 300 publications from a variety of white supremacist organizations. It examines the discourse of these publications and the ways in which "whites," "blacks," and "Jews" are constructed within that discourse. Jessie Daniels is Associate Professor in Urban Public Health at Hunter College, City University of New York. She earned an MA and PhD in Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin. Recognized as a national expert on white racism, Daniels was featured in Elizabeth Thompson's Emmy-award winning documentary "Blink," about Gregory Withrow, a supposedly reformed white supremacist. Daniels was selected as the inaugural Scholar-in-Residence at the International Center for Tolerance Education (2005-2006). She is the co-founder of, with Joe R. Feagin, and frequent contributor to the blog RacismReview.com.
