Abstract

"Weaponized Whiteness by Fran Shor interrogates the meanings and implications of white supremacy and, more specifically, white identity politics from historical and sociological perspectives. By analyzing the constructions and deconstructions of white identity politics throughout U.S. history and up through the present, these collected essays provide insight into the deep roots and resonances of white identity politics and the challenges that have emerged, in particular, since the 1960s".

Abstract

We are living in a time of mind-boggling corruption, but we are also, as it happens, living in a golden age of whistleblowing. Over the past two decades, the brave insiders who decide to expose wrongdoing have gained unprecedented legal and social stature, emerging as the government's best weapon against corporate misconduct - and the citizenry's best defense against government gone bad. They are also forcing us to consider fundamental questions about our democracy, especially the proper balance between free speech and state secrecy, and between individual rights and corporate power. Drawing on relentless original research, including in-depth interviews with more than 200 whistleblowers and the elite coterie of legal trailblazers who have armed them for battle - plus scores of politicians, intelligence analysts, government watchdogs, cognitive scientists, and other experts - Crisis of Conscience is a modern-day David-and-Goliath saga, told through a series of riveting cases drawn from Big Pharma, the military, and beyond. Whistleblowers are not only heroes who expose and anatomise corruption and ensure that it is punished usually at enormous cost to themselves - Mueller shows how they are also models we all must think and act more like if our democracy is to survive.

Abstract

« Ce livre décrit la résurgence de l’idéologie blanche, propulsée sur le devant de la scène internationale par ce qui se nomme l’Alt-Right. Le sujet est dur. Le sujet est fort. Ce livre est une enquête : comment saisir sur le vif cette idéologie en gestation, dans une suite de conversations avec ceux et celles qui pensent l’idéologie blanche. Je suis donc allé à la rencontre de protagonistes de l’Alt-Right, je leur ai parlé et je les ai écoutés. Mes interlocuteurs, qui tous — sauf un — sont des intellectuels, pas des militants qui brandissent des drapeaux dans les rues ou éructent sur le Web, ont été surpris de voir un philosophe, carnet en main, se comporter en investigative reporter. Certains d’entre eux voulurent m’engager dans un débat : je m’y suis refusé. Je ne prends pas parti : j’observe et je questionne. » Dans cet ouvrage référencé, Philippe-Joseph Salazar donne à entendre les nouveaux penseurs qui font le suprématisme. De la prise de conscience identitaire transnationale d'une certaine jeunesse et à une remise en perspective littéraire, historique et philosophique d'une tradition idéologique, qui sont ceux et celles qui se donnent comme mission de stopper la désintégration génétique, culturelle et politique de la race blanche ? Une internationale blanche est en train de prendre corps. Parviendra-t-elle à pleine maturité ? Rendez-vous dans vingt ans, ou bien avant...

Abstract

The slave trade, the conquest of the Americas and the invasion of Africa have deeply transformed the relations between Europeans and other groups. The jump from difference to superiority and racial hierarchy was so swift that it led to the moral collapse of Europe and North America. By shifting the devaluation of so-called 'inferior' beings from non-Whites to non-Aryans, Nazism committed the unforgivable crime of bringing into the heart of the European world a ferocity up to then reserved for other continents. In this book, White Ferocity: The Genocides of Non-Whites and Non-Aryans from 1492 to Date, Plumelle-Uribe investigates and demonstrates, with harrowing evidence and analyses, how Europeans justified the destruction of other peoples as unavoidable based on the officially declared belief of others being inferior.

Abstract

This book offers the first transnational history of white nationalism in Britain, the US and the formerly British colonies of Rhodesia, South Africa and Australia from the post-World War II period to the present. It situates contemporary white nationalism in the 'Anglosphere' within the context of major global events since 1945. White nationalism, it argues, became more global in reaction to the forces of decolonisation, civil rights, mass migration and the rise of international institutions. In this period, assumptions of white supremacy that had been widely held by whites throughout the world were challenged and reformulated, as western elites professed a commitment to colour-blind ideals. The decline in legitimacy of overtly racist political expression produced international alliances among white supremacists and new claims of populist legitimation.

Abstract

"White working-class conservatives have played a decisive role in American history, particularly in their opposition to social justice movements, radical critiques of capitalism, and government help for the poor and sick. While this pattern is largely seen as a post-1960s development, 'Poor Man's Fortune' tells a different story, excavating the long history of white working-class conservatism in the century from the Civil War to World War II. With a close study of metal miners in the Tri-State district of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, Jarod Roll reveals why successive generations of white, native-born men willingly and repeatedly opposed labor unions and government-led health and safety reforms, even during the New Deal"--
