Why White Nationalists and Militant Islamists Are Waging War against the United States
Description
This book is a must-read for all who care about saving and keeping our democracy. Sara Kamali's poetic voice is profound and prophetic, lighting the path for us in our quest for social justice.--Dolores Huerta, President of the Dolores Huerta Foundation, organizer, and civil rights activist In this fascinating and highly original book, Kamali expertly examines White nationalism and critically addresses the different ways in which mainstream American media, the counterterrorism industry, and the US justice system have become complicit in perpetuating this global security threat. Homegrown Hate is required reading for anyone interested in how the dynamics of racism, political violence, and religion continue to shape and challenge American society.--Mattias Gardell, Nathan Söderblom Professor of Comparative Religion, Uppsala University This is an extraordinary and courageous work. It excavates staggering links between the violent perspectives, justifications, and methods of White nationalists and US Islamists. Through interviews and trenchant analyses, Kamali allows us to parse the political vitriol and understand the 'homegrown' phenomenon across religious boundaries.--Michael Jerryson, editor of Religious Violence Today: Faith and Conflict in the Modern World
