The White Separatist Movement in the United States by Betty A Dobratz

The White Separatist Movement in the United States by Betty A Dobratz

Although the white separatist movement stereotype is that of a Southern phenomenon tied to an uneducated and disenfranchised segment of men, sociologists Betty A. Dobratz and Stephanie L. Shanks-Meile show that the movement is in reality more complex and multifaceted. To compile this study, the authors interviewed more than 125 white separatists, attended rallies, congresses, and other gatherings, and examined many movement-generated documents. The result is a compelling book that chronicles the history, ideology, and strategies of the white separatist movement.

Valuable for its focus on an extreme right-wing movement, a type of movement seldom studied, and for its clear description and application of contemporary social movement theories and conceptsChoice A clearly written, well organized book, which provides extensive information about the complex political sociology of white separatist groups and should be required reading for social scientists interested in the topic. -- Christopher B. Doob Journal of American Ethnic History
