The voice and writings of white supremacists provide the basis for
Abby Ferber's provocative critique of America's most extreme form of
racism. Using excerpts and illustrations from such rarely seen
publications as National Vanguard, White Patriot, and White Power,
this new book explores the world of white supremacists and the way
they imagine racial and gender identity. Ferber examines their belief
that white men are becoming victims, and their response to this
threat: the reassertion of white male power. This book provides a
history of race as a concept, as well as an account of the white
supremacist movement, including such groups as the Ku Klux Klan, the
Neo-Nazis, and skinheads. Ferber puts this movement into a wider
context, arguing that, in important respects, white supremacist
ideology resembles that of the mainstream by sharing basic assumptions
about race and gender. White Man Falling is a startling portrait of
the perception that white masculinity is in crisis and white
supremacist attempts to reassert dominance. The end picture is one
that holds serious repercussions not only for the future of the white
man, but for all people.
