White supremacist groups have seen surges in membership in recent years, and college-aged youth are one of their primary targets. With social media etc., it is easier than ever for them to get their ideas to the broader public and into mainstream politics. This course aims to give you the knowledge to recognize contemporary white supremacist movements, which have dramatically changed tactics from years prior. We will explore the history of these groups in the US, the major changes in image and strategies, and the global rise of white supremacist politics.
