Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity

A comprehensive and revealing study of the mindset and motives that drive far-right extremists in the post-World War II West.

Black Sun examines the new neofascist ideology, showing how hate groups, militias and conspiracy cults gain influence. Based on interviews and extensive research into underground groups, the book documents new Nazi and fascist sects that have sprung up from the 1970s to the 1990s and examines the mentality and motivation of these far-right extremists. The result is a detailed, grounded portrait of the mythical and devotional aspects of Hitler cults among Aryan mystics, racist skinheads and Nazi satanists, and disciples of heavy metal music and occult literature.
