Sums up the last generation of hate and extremism in the U.S. in straight-forward and clear terms. Sad and disgusting how much of a threat to national security and democracy as a whole and how little the current Trump administration is doing to combat it, or even address it. Disgusting. ( ) With Hateland, Daryl Johnson chronicles the rise of extremism here in the US, showing us how and why hate has risen into the mainstream. He doesn't offer personal commentary or slant information to fit an agenda. These are facts presented in a way that's both easy and disturbing to read. I had to keep putting the book down. I felt sick, disgusted, panicked. And then I'd pick the book up and read some more, because this is happening, and I know it's happening, and it won't get better if we just ignore it. Buy this book. Read it. Lend it to a friend. Talk about it. Spread knowledge instead of fear, conversation instead of accusation. Hateland is a difficult but necessary book to read. *I received a review copy from the publisher, via Amazon Vine.* Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"A chilling overview of the current threat from domestic terrorism by a former Department of Homeland Security analyst America is a land in which extremism no longer belongs to the country's shadowy fringes, but comfortably exists in the national mainstream. That is the alarming conclusion by intelligence analyst Daryl Johnson, an expert on domestic extremism with more than twenty-five years of experience tracking radicalized groups for the U.S Government. In this book, Johnson dissects the rapidly expanding forms of American hatred and radicalization, including white nationalists, anti-government militias, antifascists (Antifa), militant black nationalists, and extremist Islamic groups. The author develops a concise model that explains how extremists on both the far right and the far left use the same techniques to recruit and radicalize individuals into violent offenders. He also examines the political forces that fuel this threat and have kept the US government from properly identifying and developing countermeasures to deal with it, including a disproportional emphasis on Islamic terrorism. The author concludes by recounting individual stories of deradicalization, each of which was the result of personal reevaluations of formerly held extremist convictions. He recommends more resources at the state and federal levels for combatting radical movements. He also urges greater communication and coordination between law enforcement agencies. This in-depth analysis of a growing menace that has taken America hostage by a leading expert throws a stark light on the darkest segments of American society and provides practical means for dealing with their violent threats"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
