Download or read book The Swastika written by Thomas Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published under the auspices of the United States NationalMuseum (now the Smithsonian), this book is the most comprehensivescholarly study of the history and use of the ancient swastika symbol everundertaken. Its author, Thomas Wilson, participated in the excavationof an Indian burial mound in Ohio where several large copper swastikaswere discovered. This unusual find sparked Wilson's curiosity and led tothe research that ultimately became this book.The swastika symbol occurs in Mesopotamia and India as early as 8000years ago, and prolifically on artifacts unearthed at the site of ancientTroy. It also appears on hundreds of Greek ceramic objects of theGeometric period, dating between the tenth and seventh centuries BC.Its use by indigenous peoples along the Mississippi and Amazon Riversbefore 300 AD has raised serious questions about a possible diffusion fromEurasia. How or when this may have occurred, however, has never beenestablished, nor has the underlying significance of the swastika ever beenfully understood.The front cover illustration is from the book "Tree of Life, MythicalArchetype" by Gregory Haynes, also published by Symbolon Press. Hayneswas the first to observe that the four largest rivers on the four continentsbordering the Atlantic Ocean (the Nile, Amazon, Mississippi, and Baltic)stand in relation to each other as do the outer arms of an enormousswastika. In "Tree of Life, Mythical Archetype" he persuasively argues thatancient navigators mapped these four rivers and derived the swastikafrom them.This is a facsimile edition of Wilson's 1896 report, which includes all of his writings on the subject of the swastika. The text quality is generally good, while the quality of the more than 450 illustrations is very good to excellent.

Book excerpt: Despite the enormous amount of material on the subject of Nazism, there has been no substantial work on its emblem, the swastika. This original and controversial contribution examines the role that the swastika played in the construction of the Aryan myth in the nineteenth century, and its use in Nazi ideology as a symbol of party, nation and race, treating it as symbolic phenomenon in a cultural context. By identifying the swastika as a boundary or liminal image, Malcolm Quinn allies visual anaysis to issues of material culture and history.

Book Synopsis The Swastika and Symbols of Hate by : Steven Heller
Download or read book The Swastika and Symbols of Hate written by Steven Heller and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Force[s] even the most sophisticated to rethink and rework their ideas of how images work in the world.” —School Library Journal This is a classic story, masterfully told, in a new, revised and expanded edition about how one graphic symbol can endure and influence life—for good and evil—for generations and never, even today, be redeemed. A nuanced examination of the most powerful symbol ever created, The Swastika and Symbols of Hate explores the rise and fall of the symbol, its mysteries, co-option, and misunderstandings. Readers will be fascinated by the twists and turns of the swastika’s fortunes, from its pre-Nazi spiritual-religious and benign commercial uses, to the Nazi appropriation and criminalization of the form, to its contemporary applications as both a racist, hate-filled logo and ignorantly hip identity. Once the mark of good fortune, during the twentieth century it was hijacked and perverted, twisted into the graphic embodiment of intolerance. If you want to know what the logo for hate looks like, go no further. The Nazi swastika is a visual obscenity and provokes deep emotions on all sides. The Nazis weaponized this design, first as a party emblem, then as a sign of national pride and, ultimately, as the trademark of Adolf Hitler’s unremitting malevolence in the name of national superiority. A skilled propagandist, Hitler and his accomplices understood how to stoke fear through mass media and through emblems, banners, and uniforms. Many contemporary hate marks are rooted in Nazi iconography both as serious homage and sarcastic digital bots and trolls. Given the increasing tolerance for supremacist intolerance tacitly and overtly shown by politicians the world over, this revised (and reconfigured) edition includes additional material on old and new hate logos as it examines graphic design’s role in far-right extremist ideology today.

Book Synopsis The Science of the Swastika by : Bernard Thomas Mees
Download or read book The Science of the Swastika written by Bernard Thomas Mees and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The swastika and similar symbols were employed by the ancestors of the modern-day Germans. With the Nazi seizure of power, studies of such ideographs became directly supported by the state. The Science of the Swastika is the first theoretically informed study of the relationship between an academic discipline and what the Nazis termed their Weltanschauung. It surveys the fate of Old Germanic studies under the Nazis, a discipline of especial interest to the forces of German reaction. German swastika studies also gave rise to the SS-Ahnenerbe, the antiquarian research organization through which medical experiments were later to be performed on the inmates of concentration camps. The Old Germanic studies of the Nazi period proved to be a creative foil to the almost overwhelmingly destructive side of National Socialism."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book American Swastika written by Pete Simi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the acclaimed American Swastika provides an up-to-date perspective on the white power movement in America. The book takes readers through hidden enclaves of hate, exploring how white supremacy movements thrive nationwide and how we can work to prevent future violence. Filled with powerful case studies, interviews, and first-person accounts, the book explains the differences between various hate groups, then shows how white supremacy groups cultivate their membership through Aryan homes, parties, rituals, music festivals, and online propaganda. Featuring updated statistics and examples throughout, the second edition of American Swastika describes most of today’s active white power groups and the legacy of recently disbanded groups. It also discusses new players in the world of white power websites and music and shares new research on how people exit hate groups. As recent events have made clear that the idea of a “post–racial America” is a myth, American Swastika is essential reading for understanding both how hate builds and how we can work to prevent violence.
