Black sun : Aryan cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the politics of identity

"More than half a century after the defeat of fascism, the far right is again challenging liberal democracy. Since the 1980s, radical movements have been feeding on anxiety about economic globalization, big government, affirmative action, and third-world immigration. The Aryan racial myth, anti-Semitism, occultism, and oriental religion supply a revolutionary rationale to groups who feel threatened by a loss of cultural tradition and identity in multicultural societies."
