  • Identitarian Movement
    Identitarian movement The identitarian movement (otherwise known as Identitarianism) is a European and North American[2][3][4][5] white nationalist[5][6][7] movement originating in France. The identitarians began as a youth movement deriving from the French Nouvelle Droite (New Right) Génération Identitaire and the anti-Zionist and National Bolshevik Unité Radicale. Although initially the youth wing of the anti- immigration and nativist Bloc Identitaire, it has taken on its own identity and is largely classified as a separate entity altogether.[8] The movement is a part of the counter-jihad movement,[9] with many in it believing in the white genocide conspiracy theory.[10][11] It also supports the concept of a "Europe of 100 flags".[12] The movement has also been described as being a part of the global alt-right.[13][14][15] Lambda, the symbol of the Identitarian movement; intended to commemorate the Battle of Thermopylae[1] Contents Geography In Europe In North America Links to violence and neo-Nazism References Further reading External links Geography In Europe The main Identitarian youth movement is Génération identitaire in France, a youth wing of the Bloc identitaire party. In Sweden, identitarianism has been promoted by a now inactive organisation Nordiska förbundet which initiated the online encyclopedia Metapedia.[16] It then mobilised a number of "independent activist groups" similar to their French counterparts, among them Reaktion Östergötland and Identitet Väst, who performed a number of political actions, marked by a certain

As office holders and social lobbyists, these women directly transformed the political and social fabric of society. Some of these women played a key role as the first recognized political figures in the region, while others worked to document and write about the female experience and built academic programs around feminism and women’s history. Others worked as activists and lobbyists for a variety of causes including the Equal Rights Amendment, the environment, women’s legal rights, and pay equity.

  • ADL Backgrounder on Larry Darby
    ADL Backgrounder on Larry Darby Larry Darby, who openly declared his white supremacist and anti-Semitic views, lost his bid to become the Democratic candidate for Alabama attorney general in the primary election held on June 6, 2006. According to reports, Darby received about 44 percent of the vote -- a disturbing turnout for a candidate who recently spoke at a meeting of a neo-Nazi group and denied that the Holocaust ever took place. In 2002, Darby ran for the same office as a Libertarian Party candidate but dropped out of the race before the election. Who is Larry Darby? Darby is the founder, general counsel and former president of the Atheist Law Center based in Montgomery, Alabama. An anti-Semite and outspoken Holocaust denier, Darby claims that no more than 140,000 Jews died in Europe during World War II and that most of them died of typhus. He also asserts that the figure of 6 million Jews killed during World War II is part of the "Holocaust industry," and that there is no evidence of a mass extermination of Jews during that time. Meetings with Holocaust Deniers and Racists In July 2005 Darby organized a meeting where noted Holocaust denier DaDaDaDavidvidvidvid IrIrIrIrvinvinvinvingggg was the keynote speaker. Regarding Irving, Darby stated in January 2006: "Irving's findings are counter to the government-sanctioned version of what is called the Holocaust. The Holocaust has evolved into a religious industry with 1 / 4 sacred precepts that are examined only under the penalty of law. Free speech is anathema to the Holocaust industry." On May 13, 2006, Darby attended a closed meeting of the New Jersey unit of the neo-Nazi National Vanguard, which claims him as a member.

This has prompted new disciplinary encounters, as scholars working on social movements and collective action have begun to focus much more on the significance of communication processes. Within dominant approaches to social movement studies this represents a significant shift, to that the extent that the study of social movements has historically not attached a great significance to communication processes, which have been essentially understood within a ‘broadcasting’ paradigm, where collective actors ‘display’ their ‘worthiness, unity, numbers and commitment’ (Guini, McAdam & Tilly, 1999), principally by ‘occupy[ing] public space… to disrupt routines and gain media attention’ (Tilly & Tarrow, 2005 p. 20). This approach to social mobilization underlined the critical importance of ‘the shared definition of a group’ (Taylor & Whittier, 1992, p.
