Description: Today's rapidly growing Euro-American racist subculture is markedly different from past trans-Atlantic interactions. While nationalistic ideologies such as Nazism and fascism were traditionally imported from Europe to the United States, recent trends indicate that extreme right-wing ideas now also flow from America to Europe. The unprecedented convergence among adherents to hate movements on both sides of the Atlantic is thoroughly explored in this collection of original essays.

Experts in sociology, political science, and history examine a wide range of international linkages that gave rise to an increasingly cohesive transnational and Euro-American brotherhood of the radical right. Among the topics discussed are the Internet, conspiracy theories, white power rock 'n' roll, and the skinhead movement.
