The White Nationalist Skinhead Movement

Robert Forbes and Eddie Stampton

Feral House, WA. 2015. First edition paperback. Like new.

From the publisher:

We've all heard about the racist form of skinhead punk music, but little do we know of the groups involved, and how they got involved in right-wing political movements.

The White Nationalist Skinhead Movement is the first book to provide much more than mere photographs of the scene, documenting the bands, their members, the releases, shows, and infamous events. Robert Forbes and Eddie Stampton can authoritatively speak of the movement, obtaining first-hand material from members of the scene.

This book covers both British and American bands, and even if you revile the movement, its ideas, and its music, this is an important piece of pop culture history.

While you might think "pop culture" was a stretch, think about the idiocy that followed the releases of Romper Stomper and American History X. Some people want to be bald and evil. This is a catalog of the who, where, why, and when of the American and English white nationalist skinhead scenes. Fascinating stuff, and despite the rather shocking cover, not at all sympathetic. Again, you=warned.
