On the one hand, you want to thank individuals who helped the project to completion. On the other hand, you constantly worry that someone will get left out. Needless to say, in writing the acknowledgement, one realizes just how many people contributed to the overall project. While the author receives the attention, those who worked behind the scenes deserve recognition. But before I dispense with the long list of thank you’s, I want to thank you, the reader, for finding this work. It is my hope that the story interwoven in the following pages will not end at the conclusion of this project, but will go forth to aid countless other projects that tackle difficult historical topics.

  • Frammenti Più Interessanti Delle Interviste Di Rob Darken – Graveland
    I FRAMMENTI PIÙ INTERESSANTI DELLE INTERVISTE DI ROB DARKEN (GRAVELAND). FONTE: THE PAGAN FRONT. http://www.thepaganfront.com/graveland/interviews.html NOTA DEL TRADUTTORE. Il contenuto, tratto a varie interviste a Rob Darken (Graveland, band NSBM / Pagan Black Metal polacca) rappresenta esclusivamente le sue posizioni. Il traduttore non esprime alcun giudizio sull’articolo né su alcuna delle posizioni espresse. Sta al lettore ragionare con la propria testa e farsi un’idea propria su questo articolo e sulle posizioni espresse dall’autore. 1 1. Suoni la tua musica sotto il vessillo del Black Metal, e come tutti sappiamo il Black Metal è legato all’ideologia satanista, che è in qualche modo contrastante col tuo orientamento politico. Dal mio punto di vista la tipologia di Metal che tratta delle antiche culture è il Pagan o l’Epic Metal, non è forse così? Non sono mai stato un fan del Satanismo. Gli elementi satanici nell’immagine dei Graveland erano dovuti a Capricornus e Karcharoth, ed io non avevo niente in contrario. Tuttavia ho smesso di accettare il Satanismo quando ho capito due cose. In primo luogo, che il Satanismo è una parte della religione Giudeo-Cristiana e quindi, in quanto parte del Giudeocristianesimo, il Satanismo è estraneo alla cultura autoctona dei nostri antenati. Il Satanismo dovrebbe essere rigettato in quanto parte della propaganda del nemico. Non siamo mai stati schiavi del Giudeocristianesimo e non lo saremo mai! In secondo luogo, il Satanismo non è una religione o filosofia che nega totalmente il Cristianesimo in quanto il Satanismo è basato sull’opposizione al Cristianesimo, il che significa che il Satanismo in fondo afferma l’esistenza del Dio Cristiano.

  • Pestepidemie in Der Black Metal-Szene Anarchistische Timur
    Pestepidemie in der Black Metal-Szene [1]In den letzten Jahren neigt der National Socialist Black Matal (NSBM) dazu, sich als ob nichts dabei wäre auf verschiedenen Metal-Festivals einzuladen : während das Phänomen in Norwegen oder Deutschland ernstgenommen wird, scheint man in Frankreich, wo eine NSBM-Gruppe wie "Peste Noire" von der Öffentlichkeit unbeachtet auftreten darf, das Ausmaß der Gefahr, die dieser von zahlreichen Metal-Fans unerwünschte neonazistische Auswuchs darstellt, nicht zu erkennen. Wenn die Gruppen des Black Metal - einer in den 1980er Jahren entstandenen düsteren und teils melancholischen Unterart des Heavy Metal - die satanistischen Bezüge verstärken, an der Beschreibung aller möglichen Formen von extremer Gewalt Gefallen finden und oft mit großem misanthropischen Elan zum endgültigen Untergang der Menschheit aufrufen, muss man grundsätzlich darin zunächst eine ausgesprochene Lust an der Provokation anstatt einer tatsächlichen Absicht, derartiges umzusetzen, sehen, trotz einiger makabrer Ereignisse (Kirchen-Brandstiftung, Selbstmorde und Morde), die die Geschichte dieser Bewegung begleiten. Einige Black Metal-Bands verteidigen sogar antirassistische, anarchistische[2], Selbstverwaltungs- oder ökologische Ideale; ja sogar antifaschistische, wie die russische Gruppe Distress, in der der im November 2005 von Neonazis ermordete Timur Kachavara [3] gespielt hat.

  • The Struggle for Civil Rights and Economic Justice in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 1960-1969 (2015) Directed by Dr
    USHER, JESS ALAN, Ph.D. An Uneasy Peace: The Struggle for Civil Rights and Economic Justice in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 1960-1969 (2015) Directed by Dr. Charles C. Bolton. 453 pp. This dissertation provides an innovative expansion of the historiography of Upper South locations during the Black Freedom Struggle and the War on Poverty of the 1960s. This study asserts that racial attitudes in Winston-Salem were superficially cordial and accommodating among the elites of both classes, with both sides invested in presenting a positive image of the city to the outside world. This tradition had its roots in the peculiar form of slavery practiced by the communitarian Moravians and was carried forward by New South industrialists and financiers. This dissertation demonstrates that at various moments in history, the less-privileged classes within the African American community revolted against the elites of both races to foment much more rapid change than was previously thought possible. "An Uneasy Peace" is concerned as well with the opinions and emotions of southern whites as they came to terms with the reality that their world was forever changing. This study examined hundreds of “letters to the editor” of local newspapers which provided contemporary opinions of events that occurred locally in Winston-Salem as well as elsewhere in the civil rights movement. These sources provide insights from people across lines of race, class, gender, and generation in a way not previously seen in any local movement study. “An Uneasy Peace” goes beyond the usual simplistic view of the struggle for civil rights as a straightforward battle between good and evil to probe the historical complexities and “gray areas” of various race-based issues and ideologies.

  • Native Faith (Not) Only for Men: Gendering Extreme Right-Wing Slavic Neopaganism in Poland Mariusz Filip Adam Mickiewicz University
    NATIVE FAITH (NOT) ONLY FOR MEN: GENDERING EXTREME RIGHT-WING SLAVIC NEOPAGANISM IN POLAND Mariusz Filip Adam Mickiewicz University In this article I look at gender (Moore 1999) in the practice of the everyday life of the Polish right-wing milieu1. I do not cover the right-wing in Poland in its totality, which comprises various groups of (libertarian) conservative, Christian democratic, monarchist and nationalist orientations, I do not even deal with the Catholic majority. Instead I concentrate on the right-wing of Slavic Neopaganism, also known as the Native Faith, or just under the Polish name rodzimowierstwo2. Certainly, Slavic Neopaganism in Poland (hereafter called Neopaganism) is a mar- ginal movement (measured both in number and political power), but it is not invisible or without symbolical significance within Polish society. After all, what comes into play here is the cultivation of national heritage on the one hand, and 1 This is a revised and extended version of an article that appeared in the Polish language as: “Rodzima Wiara (nie) tylko dla mężczyzn. O upłciowieniu prawicowego neopogaństwa słowiańskiego w Polsce.” Zeszyty Etnologii Wrocławskiej (Wrocław Ethno- logy Papers), No. 1 (20), 2014: 113–133 (http://zew.info.pl/files/1-14_Filip.pdf). After this article had reached its present form I read the paper by Kaarina Aitamurto (2013) who discusses some ideas presented here in the Russian context. Despite the general consensus of opinion, for at least one point I find it hard to agree with Aitamurto (cf. 2013: 29). 2 As everywhere in the world there are several Neopagan streams present in Poland.
