"This timely and well-curated book analyzes a broad range of white nationalist, nativist, and other violent authoritarian forces, demonstrating their centrality to the development of the US. Given the extraordinary events of the last five years in particular, in which white nationalist groups have emerged as a powerful force within US politics and social debates, the book could not be more urgent and necessary."--Daniel HoSang, author of A Wider Type of Freedom: How Struggles for Racial Justice Liberate Everyone "A timely, important, and beautifully executed accomplishment.

The uniformly high quality of the entries, the expansive scope of the histories under consideration, and the editors' success in marshaling essays that are diverse in voice and method but completely unified in spirit provide a cohesive start for civic discussion that connects the dots. Our civic life needs this, and the world would be a better place if our legislators, teachers, and journalists were to read it."--Matthew Frye Jacobson, author of Roots Too: White Ethnic Revival in Post-Civil Rights America "An invaluable resource for journalists, educators, policymakers, or people who simply want to understand the deep roots and wide reach of white supremacy in this country. This book is badly needed to dispel the myth that acts of racial, religious, and gender violence and hate exist in a vacuum. The authors bring their deep knowledge of white power movements to illuminate the dire threat we, as a nation, face from groups that are organized and determined to undermine the very idea of a diverse and pluralistic America."--Lulu Garcia-Navarro, host of National Public Radio's Weekend Edition Sunday "Intellectual history can move like geologic time: long periods of stasis punctuated by abrupt, dramatic change. After centuries of defense and denial, we're now living an earthshaking rush to finally grapple with white supremacy. This is the book to survey lands collapsing and new vistas rising."--Ian F. Haney López, author of Merge Left: Fusing Race and Class, Winning Elections, and Saving America "A Field Guide to White Supremacy is as urgent an intervention as the problem it addresses. Incisive, erudite, and driven by a relentlessly democratic ethic, these essays are crucial to understanding a cruel, metastatic doctrine that looms among our most pressing national concerns."--Jelani Cobb, staff writer at the New Yorker and author of The Substance of Hope: Barack Obama and the Paradox of Progress
