Reviews
Grade 9-12-A horrifying account of the Ku Klux Klan and other racist hate groups (such as skinheads) in the U.S. It is a powerful, clearly written, well-organized book that details historical foundations for racism, as well as current hate-trends and white power movements. Students will gain useful insights and information from this title, particularly when they use it in conjunction with Susan Lang's Extremist Groups in America (Watts, 1990) and Fred Cook's The Ku Klux Klan (Messner, 1989).

Gr. 7-10. Headline-making stories of hate crimes draw readers into this overview of racially motivated extremist groups in the U.S. by one of the most prolific writers of children's nonfiction. Following a traditional mode of organization, Landau supplies historical context first; then, in separate chapters, she focuses on the origins and activities of some of the better-known white supremacist groups--the Ku Klux Klan, the skinheads (Landau carefully notes that not all skinheads are racist), the White Aryan Resistance (W.A.R.), and several sects that embrace the principles of the Identity Church. She also does some quick speculating on the reasons hate groups survive and examines the ways some extremists (such as David Duke) are repackaging their image. Filled with facts and examples, this is sure to be of use to students, but Susan Lang's chilling, consciousness-raising study, Extremist Groups in America (1990), is still more comprehensive and more challenging. Notes and a bibliography of books and articles are appended. Stephanie Zvirin

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition (Number Line to 1). 'A Millbrook Press Library Edition.' Like the few other copies for sale this book has a white strip library binding. However, it very clearly never set foot in a library, has no kind of library markings and, unlike all of the other copies for sale, has its dust jacket. Moreover, both the book and the dust jacket are in excellent condition. You can see the black covers of the book in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. The lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The cover edges are in excellent condition, no rubbing. The corners are in excellent condition, no rubbing. The spine ends are free of any wrinkling or crinkling. The only slight imperfection is some freckled spotting on the top page edge. However, none of it appears to have migrated onto the actual pages. Except for one speck of a spot the middle page edge is perfectly clean, and the bottom of page edge is perfectly clean. The inside covers and end papers are gray. They are perfectly clean and in excellent condition. The interior of the book looks terrific. The pages are, again, all perfectly clean. I'm not seeing any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. There are a great many photographs. They are all in excellent condition. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers as well. The dust jacket is also in excellent condition. I don't see any soiling. There are no tears. No conspicuous creasing or crinkling. The flaps are very clean, no wear. The jacket is not priced or clipped. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'What has prompted Americans to organize themselves around this violent racist philosophy? In exploring the answer to this and other questions, Elaine Landau investigates the history of racism in the United States, beginning with the Ku Klux Klan. She traces the development of white power groups throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. She offers compelling accounts of their actions and of the ways in which some members of the white power world, most notably David Duke, have sanitized racism in a chilling attempt to appeal to mainstream America.'.
