Kathleen Belew specializes in the recent history of the United States, examining the long aftermath of warfare. She focuses on the broad themes of the history of the present, looking at conservatism, race, gender, violence, and the meaning of war. Her book “Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America” explores how white power activists wrought a cohesive social movement through a common story about warfare and its weapons, uniforms, and technologies. Her latest book, “A Field Guide to White Supremacy,” connects the dots between current events and the deep, violent roots of white supremacy in this country.
