Book Synopsis The American Militia Phenomenon by : T. Conway Allen
Download or read book The American Militia Phenomenon written by T. Conway Allen and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the intent of this book to argue and substantiate that contemporary Militias in the United States today can trace their religious, racial, ideological, socio-cultural, and Constitutional roots all the way back to the earliest Colonial, pre-revolutionary, revolutionary, and post-revolutionary armed citizen groups that fought against what they perceived to be oppression from whatever direction it came at them. This historical, political, racial, religious, and economic inquiry investigates the militia phenomenon from an academic political science perspective. Through documented references to the political, religious, doctrinaire ideological and socio-cultural events of their day this study will provide the nexus between the basic issues of early American armed resistance to government oppression and repression in behalf of what they believed and that of the religious, racial, and socio-cultural motivations that still drive the majority of contemporary American militias today.

Book Synopsis American Extremism by : Darren Mulloy
Download or read book American Extremism written by Darren Mulloy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Extremism explains how at the heart of the politics practiced by the militia movement is an attempt to define the nature of 'Americanism', and shows how militia members employ the myths, metaphors and perceived historical lessons of the American Revolution, the constitutional settlement and America's frontier experience to do so. Mulloy argues that militia members' search for the 'authority of history' leads them to a position best characterized as 'ahistorical historicism', in which political interests in the present are given greater weight than the demands of a historically accurate reading of the past. With discussion of such recent events as the Oklahoma City bombing, Waco and the September 11th attacks alongside topical issues including militia conspiracy theories and the origins of Americans' right to keep and bear arms, this work provides the deepest understanding to date of the American militia movement.
Book Synopsis Rage on the Right by : Lane Crothers
Download or read book Rage on the Right written by Lane Crothers and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The image of the militia as ordinary people coming together in times of crisis to help their fellow citizens is deeply embedded in American society and culture. Recent claimants to the militia title have adopted this image even as they have promoted a radically anti-government, populist conservative political agenda. Rage on the Right explores militia activity and ideology throughout the last decade from Ruby Ridge to Waco to the Oklahoma City bombing. Author Lane Crothers uses social movement theory to illuminate why militia members are enraged by U.S. governmental policies and why their rage is unlikely to coalesce into a large political movement. Looking ahead, the book concludes with an examination of prospects for militia renewal in the U.S. after 9/11.
Book Synopsis Nostalgia, Nationalism, and the US Militia Movement by : Amy Cooter
Download or read book Nostalgia, Nationalism, and the US Militia Movement written by Amy Cooter and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nostalgia, Nationalism, and the US Militia Movement is an accessible primer on the contemporary US militia movement. Exploring the complicated history of militias in the United States, starting with the Revolutionary War period, this book leverages unique data from ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and previously unseen archival materials from militia founder Norm Olson to detail the modern movement’s origin and trajectory through the attempted insurrection of January 6th and beyond. This book uses the lenses of nostalgia and settler colonialism to explain militia members’ actions and beliefs, including their understandings of both nationalism and masculinity. This approach situates militias in a broader political landscape and explains how and why they will continue to be relevant actors in American politics. A general audience will find this book approachable, and it will be of particular interest to people studying militias or other social movement organizations whose vision of an ideal nation rests on a nostalgic image of the past and potentially encourages political violence.
Book Synopsis The Rise and Decline of the American Militia System by : James B. Whisker
Download or read book The Rise and Decline of the American Militia System written by James B. Whisker and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American militia system fulfilled many roles in colonial America. It offered protection for the colonists, provided a sense of community to the new settlers, and was an instrument of integration for subsequent immigrants. In the Revolution the militia did home-guard duty and acted as a reservoir of trained manpower for the Continental Line, although many militiamen fought alongside the regular army in crucial engagements.

Download or read book Gathering Storm written by Morris Dees and published by Harper Perennial. This book was released on 1997-04-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 26, 1994, Morris Dees wrote Attorney General Janet Reno to alert her to the danger posed by the growing number of radical militia groups. He warned the Attorney General that the "mixture of armed groups and those who hate is a recipe for disaster." This was six months before the Oklahoma City bombing. In Gathering Storm, he tells for the first time why he decided to alert the Attorney General and why the danger of serious domestic terrorism still exists. The militia movement we saw so much about immediately after the Oklahoma City bombing was not a spontaneous grassroots uprising of men angry at big government but, as Dees shows, a well-organized effort by some of America's most dangerous far-right extremists. Its goal is to destabilize our democracy through domestic terrorism. Few are more qualified to expose the militia network and its close cousin, the Christian patriots, than Dees. Dees points out that the Oklahoma City tragedy was not an isolated event. He connects together a series of violent acts and plans promoted by militia groups and small secret "patriot" cells since the early 1980s. Many, he says, have ties to sources of political power in state houses and in Washington. Dees names names, gives places and details events that could prove embarrassing to some.

Book Synopsis American Militias by : Joshua D. Freilich
Download or read book American Militias written by Joshua D. Freilich and published by LFB Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Quantitatively analyzing militia activity in the United States on a state-by-state level, Freilich (sociology, John Jay College of Criminal Justice) represents the major hypotheses of the birth of the movement in terms of separate variables, seeking to explain differentiated levels of activity among states during the years 1994 and 1995. He finds no support for resource mobilization theory or economic interaction theory in terms of militia formation, suggesting that the cultural thesis fits the data set better.
