  • 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

  • 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.

  • From Printed Page to Live Hip Hop: American Poetry and Politics Into the 21St Century
    FROM PRINTED PAGE TO LIVE HIP HOP: AMERICAN POETRY AND POLITICS INTO THE 21ST CENTURY Michael Dowdy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of English in the Department of English. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Linda Wagner-Martin Reader: Maria DeGuzmán Reader: Nick Halpern Reader: Trudier Harris Reader: John McGowan © 2005 Michael Dowdy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MICHAEL DOWDY: From Printed Page to Live Hip Hop: American Poetry and Politics into the 21st Century (Under the direction of Linda Wagner-Martin) This project identifies and explains the major rhetorical strategies American poets from Vietnam to the present use to create political poems. It argues that there are many different, though overlapping, approaches to making sociopolitically engaged poetry. Understanding political poetry as a collection of multiple rhetorical strategies moves away from identity- based and subject-based criticism. This project thus considers a number of representative poems from each strategy in order to illuminate each strategy’s intricacies. Further, the contention that hip hop has the most political potential of contemporary poetries suggests convergences with strategies for making printed poetry political. The framework for understanding both hip hop and printed poetry is derived from theories of agency that negotiate the individual’s ability to act according to her purposes in relation to the determining economic, political, and social forces that constrain action. The strategies considered thus emerge from various types of poetic agency: embodied agency, including both experiential and authoritative agency; equivocal agency, including comprehensive and particular varieties; migratory agency; and contestatory urban agency, which includes strategies indigenous to hip hop.
