Over the past decade, a new white nationalist movement has gained strength in America, bringing with it the potential to disrupt already fragile race relations. Eschewing violence, this movement seeks to expand its influence mainly through argument and persuasion targeted at white Americans aggrieved over racial double standards, race-based affirmative action policies, high black-on-white crime rates, and liberal immigration policies. The movement has also been energized by minority advocacy of multiculturalism. Due to its emphasis on group self-determination, multiculturalism has provided white nationalists with justification for advocating a parallel form of white solidarity. In addition, technological advances such as the Internet have made it easier than ever before for white nationalists to reach a more mainstream audience. This study is intended as a wake-up call to all Americans who cherish the Civil Rights Era vision of an integrated America, a common humanity, and equality before God and the law.

Like many of my countrymen, I was irate. Wordlessly irate. And since I couldn't scream at anyone, I read.
Published (this edition, anyway) in 2002, it is chillingly prophetic. All those books that made the lists this summer? She mentions ALL of those issues. Scholar that she is, she presented some fairly good solutions(I thought) that now, unfortunately, it might be too late to implement.
The section at the beginning, as she recounts interviews with many leaders of these groups, is disgusting and, for me, at least, subliminally terrifying. But Dr. Swain doesn't seem to feel any of that. At least, she doesn't show that in her writing.
I love her grit, her boldness, and her ability to look at both sides without backing down from her convictions or exhibiting fear. Perhaps the boldness comes from knowing her enemies. And, hopefully, now that I am better acquainted with some, I will be braver too. (
