Descripción: Críticas An essential reference book for our times.--Rachel Maddow "Rachel Maddow Show" (6/14/2022 12:00:00 AM)A carefully written book that argues that violent white-supremacist groups were mobilized by the Vietnam War and the Cold War more generally to undertake an armed campaign in the service of their anticommunist, White supremacist goals...Belew's work suggests that armed violence by militant movements is a far more enduring and deep-rooted part of American politics than conventional understandings admit.--Paul Musgrave "Systemic Organization" (9/11/2020 12:00:00 AM)A gorgeously rendered account of the white power movement in this country that reveals its symbiotic character, one that both feeds on mainstream angst and stimulates it to new heights.-- "Los Angeles Review of Books" (9/3/2018 12:00:00 AM)A gripping study of white power...It is impossible to read the book without recalling more recent events...The book's explosive thesis: that the white power movement ...emerged as a radical reaction to the [Vietnam] war...It is a breathtaking argument, one that treats foreign policy as the impetus for a movement that most people view through the lens of domestic racism...It's a stunning indictment of official culpability, and Belew constructs her case with forensic care. In doing so, she shows that, while racism is ever with us, policy choices ranging from local police strategies to the furthest reaches of foreign policy create the space for white power to flourish.-- "New York Times" (7/6/2018 12:00:00 AM)A smart and powerfully argued book about the way that the Vietnam War in particular reshaped white power in the United States... It's really fascinating.--Nicole Hemmer "Past Present" (4/23/2018 12:00:00 AM)Alarming and meticulously researched.--Wajahat Ali "NYR Daily" (8/16/2018 12:00:00 AM)An engaging account of how and why the modern white power movement emerged from 1975 to 1995...[Belew] offers an unprecedented level of detail, engaging deeply with developments that other authors typically gloss over...Bring the War Home is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of America's white power movement.-- "Reason" (10/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)An engrossing and comprehensive history of the white power movement in America, highlighting its racism, antigovernment hostility, and terrorist tactics...Belew presents a convincing case that white power rhetoric and activism continue to influence mainstream U.S. politics.-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" (4/30/2018 12:00:00 AM)An unquestionably powerful, well-researched and must-read addition to the post-2016 upsurge in analysis and investigation of the foundations of modern fascism. Anyone seeking to understand the origins of the modern far right in the U.S. should include this work at the top of their reading list.--Ryan Smith "Truthout" (6/30/2018 12:00:00 AM)Belew...counters the treatment of white terrorists as 'lone wolves' by tracing the contours of an organized white power movement that connected radical white extremists from Greensboro, North Carolina, to Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and from Waco, Texas, to Oklahoma City...Belew does the hard work of restoring those connections, revealing how white supremacists built a coalition of rural survivalists, urban skinheads, and anti-Semitic Christian Identity believers.-- "Los Angeles Review of Books" (4/9/2018 12:00:00 AM)Belew...traces the origins of the white power movement to the aftermath of the Vietnam War. She examines how various racist groups--skinheads, Klansmen, white separatists, neo-Nazis, militiamen, and others--united under a common banner and took the movement in a violent and revolutionary direction...Belew also argues that the anti-government sentiment created by the Vietnam War helped consolidate and radicalize the white power movement in ways we haven't fully understood.--Sean Illing "Vox" (4/13/2018 12:00:00 AM)Compelling...Meticulously researched and powerfully argued, Belew's book isn't only a
