  • Alexander B. Stohler Modern American Hategroups: Lndoctrination Through Bigotry, Music, Yiolence & the Internet
    Alexander B. Stohler Modern American Hategroups: lndoctrination Through Bigotry, Music, Yiolence & the Internet Alexander B. Stohler FacultyAdviser: Dr, Dennis Klein r'^dw May 13,2020 )ol, Masters of Arts in Holocaust & Genocide Studies Kean University In partialfulfillumt of the rcquirementfar the degee of Moster of A* Abstract: I focused my research on modern, American hate groups. I found some criteria for early- warning signs of antisemitic, bigoted and genocidal activities. I included a summary of neo-Nazi and white supremacy groups in modern American and then moved to a more specific focus on contemporary and prominent groups like Atomwaffen Division, the Proud Boys, the Vinlanders Social Club, the Base, Rise Against Movement, the Hammerskins, and other prominent antisemitic and hate-driven groups. Trends of hate-speech, acts of vandalism and acts of violence within the past fifty years were examined. Also, how law enforcement and the legal system has responded to these activities has been included as well. The different methods these groups use for indoctrination of younger generations has been an important aspect of my research: the consistent use of hate-rock and how hate-groups have co-opted punk and hardcore music to further their ideology. Live-music concerts and festivals surrounding these types of bands and how hate-groups have used music as a means to fund their more violent activities have been crucial components of my research as well. The use of other forms of music and the reactions of non-hate-based artists are also included. The use of the internet, social media and other digital means has also be a primary point of discussion.

  • White Supremacist Prison Gangs in the United States a Preliminary Inventory Introduction
    White Supremacist Prison Gangs in the United States A Preliminary Inventory Introduction With rising numbers and an increasing geographical spread, for some years white supremacist prison gangs have constitut- ed the fastest-growing segment of the white supremacist movement in the United States. While some other segments, such as neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan, have suffered stagnation or even decline, white supremacist prison gangs have steadily been growing in numbers and reach, accompanied by a related rise in crime and violence. What is more, though they are called “prison gangs,” gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, Aryan Circle, European Kindred and others, are just as active on the streets of America as they are behind bars. They plague not simply other inmates, but also local communities across the United States, from California to New Hampshire, Washington to Florida. For example, between 2000 and 2015, one single white supremacist prison gang, the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, was responsible for at least 33 murders in communities across Texas. Behind these killings were a variety of motivations, including traditional criminal motives, gang-related murders, internal killings of suspected informants or rules-breakers, and hate-related motives directed against minorities. These murders didn’t take place behind bars—they occurred in the streets, homes and businesses of cities and towns across the Lone Star State. When people hear the term “prison gang,” they often assume that such gang members plague only other prisoners, or perhaps also corrections personnel. They certainly do represent a threat to inmates, many of whom have fallen prey to their violent attacks.

Alfred Committee Members, Dominique Chlup Fredrick M. Nafukho Edward Murguia Head of Department, Fredrick M. Nafukho May 2011 Major Subject: Educational Human Resource Development iii ABSTRACT Skin Bleaching in Jamaica: A Colonial Legacy. (May 2011) Petra Alaine Robinson, B.S., Nova Southeastern University; M.I.B.A., Nova Southeastern University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Mary V. Alfred Light skin color sits within a space of privilege. While this has global significance and relevance, it is particularly true in Jamaica, a former British colony. The majority of the population is of African descent, yet there is an elevation of Eurocentric values and a denigration of Afrocentric values in many facets of life, specifically in the promotion of light skin as an indicator of beauty and social status. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychological and socio-cultural factors that influence the practice of skin bleaching in the postcolonial society of Jamaica. Additionally, the study outlined the nation‘s efforts to combat the skin-bleaching phenomenon.

Interdisciplinary in approach, the series highlights the dialogue between identity and dress, cosmetics, coiffure, and body alterations as manifested in practices as varied as plastic surgery, tattooing, and ritual scarification. The series aims, in particular, to analyze the meaning of dress in relation to popular culture and gender issues and will include works grounded in anthropology, sociology, history, art history, literature, and folklore.

The products of a frequently violent and criminal subculture, these men and women, typically imbued with neo-Nazi beliefs about Jews, blacks, ho- mosexuals and others, are also notoriously difficult to track. Organized into small, mo- bile “crews” or acting individually, skinheads tend to move around frequently and often without warning, even as they network and organize across regions. For law enforcement, this poses a particular problem — responding to crimes and even conspiracies crossing multiple jurisdictions. As these extremists extend their reach across the country, it is vital that law enforcement officers who deal with them become familiar with the activities of skinheads nationwide. What follows is a general essay on the history and nature of the skinhead movement, pre- pared with the needs of law enforcement officers in mind. After that, we reprint recent reports on the contemporary skinhead movement in America, including an overview of the latest developments, portraits of 10 particularly frightening leaders, and a gallery of insignias and tattoos commonly used by racist skinheads. This booklet was prepared by the staff of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, which tracks the American radical right and also publishes the investigative magazine Intelligence Report.

Box 363, Birmingham B15 2TT Stencilled Occasional Paper DEFENDING SKI-JUMPERS.: A CRITIQUE OF THEORIES OF YOUTH SUB-CULTURES by { * Sub & Popular Culture Series: SP No. 71 DEFEilDIilG SKI-JUMPERS: A CRITIQUE OF THEORIES OF YOUIS-I SUB-CULTURES By GAR’r CLARICE CEU2HE FOR CONTEMPORARY CULTURAL STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF BIRiilNGHAIL, SP no. 71 June, 19S2 The Search for Resistance: Origins and Limits Itepistance Through Rituals, emerged at a particular moment as a condensation of particular intellectual and political trends art! I Would argue that this defining moment overdetermined the authors' approach. The forces and consid­ erations of the early 1970's imposed severe limitations and restrictions upon the project, evident, not least, in the admitted neglect of 1straight' working- class youth. Primarily, the project was written as an attempt tc produce a. politicised and more sophisticated version of labelling theory - a perspective on the sociology of deviance which emerged from the work of Howard Becker and was developed at the National Devioncy Conferences of the late sixties. (Becker, 1953; Cohen, 1971 and 1973, Boung, 1972; Taylor and Taylor, 1973)- Labelling and interactionist theory quite radically permitted a sympathy for the oppressed by suggesting that deviance is a social creation; the result of the powey o f , ’asyal entrepreneurs' to label others as deviant rather than inherently deviant or criminal acts. By developing concepts and theories such as deviaiicy amplification and the different­ ial application of labels, and by exploring the socially and historically relative nature of deviance, labelling theorists shifted the emphasis, away from essentially deviant _ actors .to those i-fith the- power to label.

  • Menswear, Masculinity and Consumption in Six Online Communities
    THE NOT-SO-SECRET VICE: MENSWEAR, MASCULINITY AND CONSUMPTION IN SIX ONLINE COMMUNITIES NATHANIEL WEINER A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO August 2019 © Nathaniel Weiner, 2019 ii Abstract Online menswear communities are online discussion forums dedicated to the discussion of men’s clothing topics such as raw denim, streetwear, suits and Ivy style. This dissertation reports findings from an online ethnography of six of these communities and fifty in-depth interviews with American, British and Canadian men who participate in them. Because fashion and consumption have historically been gendered as female or gay, the dissertation asks whether the participation of predominantly heterosexual men in these communities is representative of a shift in norms governing masculinity. It also asks what the role of consumption is in shaping the identities of these men. The researcher found that online menswear communities were organised around the consumption of clothing commodities. Consumption shaped the respondents’ experience of both online and offline spaces, while bestowing them with “fashion capital” (Rocamora, 2012) within their communities. Respondents’ ties to online menswear communities were not strong or deep enough for them to be considered subcultures, but they nonetheless acted as resources for identities; identities articulated not in terms of group-belonging, but in terms of shared preferences for “craft consumption” (Campbell, 2005). The temporary coming together of men with shared lifestyles online made online menswear communities akin to “neo-tribes” (Maffesoli, 1996). The researcher also discovered that while the respondents were not embarrassed by their engagement with clothing and shopping, they made a rhetorical distinction between the masculine pursuit of style, and the feminine following of fashion.
