New book coming Feb 2018: Healing from Hate: How Young Men Get Into―and Out of―Violent Extremism

What draws young men into violent extremist groups? What are the ideologies that inspire them to join? And what are the emotional bonds that are forged that make it difficult to leave, even when they want to?

Based on in-depth interviews with ex-white nationalists and neo-Nazis in the United States, as well as ex-skinhead and neo-Nazis in Germany and Sweden, renowned sociologist Michael Kimmel examines the multiple roles that gender—particularly masculinity—has on these young recruits. Kimmel unveils how white extremist groups wield masculinity to recruit and retain members—and prevent members from exiting the movement. These young men feel a sense of righteous indignation, seeing themselves as victims in a world suddenly dominated by political correctness. Their birthright has been upended, they say—and violent extremist groups leverage masculinity to manipulate the men’s despair into white supremacist and neo-Nazi hatred , all to “take their manhood back.”
