Description: "The Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations, and many ultra-right-wing racist "religious" organizations adhere to a doctrine called Christian Identity. Not a demonination but a loosely organized movement, Christian Identity is a belief system irrevocably tied to race. As such it lends itself to violence and anti-Semitism and even to domestic terrorism." "This survey of the Christian Identity Movement traces its development and beliefs and examines the future of Identity communities and organizations in America. Topics include British Israelism (forerunner of most bloodline Identity groups); the American Israel, Israel Identity and bloodline Identity movements; and the militant groups and leaders. The final chapter explores the "Third American Revolution" predicted by these groups, a forthcoming war based on race and religion."--Jacket.
