The growth of White supremacy

Recently I read Leonard Zeskind's Blood and Politics, an excellent overview of rightwing extremism, charting every twist, turn and rivalry of various groups, movements and adherents that are "hate-oriented toward particular religious, racial or ethnic groups, and are mainly anti-government,and provides a context in which to assess them and offers an extended look inside a little-understood cultural zone that is really a panoply of small groups. I think this is one of the best overviews of the subject I've read. The continuity he provides to these various groups and the growth of ideas really puts a lot of current political discourse from the right in perspective, which is why I think more folks should read it.

I certainly find myself returning to it everytime I read about Glenn beck, birthers or even the health care debate.
