In a New York Times opinion piece, Ian Allen explains that in order understand why white supremacists back Donald Trump, we only need to view their reading material.
"The books act as a kind of binding agent, a Bible-like codification of
basic principles that underpin the various denominations. And yet, for
understandable reasons, they remain largely unknown. Journalists are
inclined to avoid name-checking the books publicly, for fear of
inadvertently promoting them."
Mr Allen quotes Heidi Beirich, of the Southern Poverty
Law Center. “We needed to have been talking about these books
for decades. They’re very influential, they’re reaching
the highest levels of power, they’re having an impact on terrorism, on
policy, and so on. Not talking about them is just wrong.”
The article continues with descriptions of the literature.
