White nationalists

who are they and what do they believe?
In August of 2017, a group of torch-bearing white nationalists marched in Charlottesville, Virginia as part of the Unite the Right rally. Confronted by hundreds of counter-protesters, the gathering soon turned violent, resulting in the death of a young woman. The Charlottesville riots vaulted the presence of white nationalists to national attention. However, the white nationalist movement has been a growing force in American culture for decades. The articles in this book speak to the origins, beliefs, and growing cultural impact of white nationalists on politics, civic life, and media. Features such as media literacy terms and questions deepen readers' understanding of the reporting styles and devices used to cover the topic.

Land of entrapment

K.C. Fontero left Albuquerque for Texas in the wake of a bitter break-up, headed for a teaching and research post-doc at the University of Texas, Austin. With a doctorate in sociology and expertise in American white supremacist groups, she's well on her way to an established academic life. But the past has a way of catching up with you and as K.C. spends a summer helping her grandfather on his central Texas farm, her past shows up in the form of her ex, Melissa Crown, an Albuquerque lawyer who left K.C. for another woman three years earlier. Melissa's younger sister Megan has gone missing-she's hooked up with a man Melissa suspects is part of an underground white supremacist group and Melissa needs K.C.'s help to find her and hopefully bring her out of the movement. K.C. knows she has the knowledge and contacts to track the group. She knows that in the interests of public service, she'd be helping law enforcement, as well. What she doesn't know is how far into her past she'll have to go in order to find not only Megan, but herself as well. Working to locate the group without alerting members' suspicions, K.C. finds herself drawn to Megan's friend and neighbor, Sage Crandall, a photographer who challenges K.C.'s attempts to keep her heart ensconced in the safety of research and analysis. Confronted with her growing feelings for Sage while unraveling her complicated past with Melissa, K.C. delves into the racist and apocalyptic beliefs of the mysterious group, but the deeper she goes, the greater the danger she faces.
