Apr 19, 9:00 AM: “Nativism, White Power, and Anti-Immigrant Violence in the United States” ...

This conference seeks to structurally locate white backlash and the reemergence of militant white supremacists in the context of American politics over the last 60 years. The conference's second goal is to empirically chronicle the many iterations of resurgent white nationalism, ranging from mainstream political discourse to the violent activism of the white power movement and alt-right fringe.
