Radical movements are feeding on anxiety about immigration, globalization and the refugee crisis, giving rise to new waves of nationalism and surges of white supremacism. A curious mixture of Aristocratic paganism, anti-Semitic demonology, Eastern philosophies and the occult is influencing populist antigovernment sentiment and helping to exploit the widespread fear that invisible elites are shaping world events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Sun \u003c\/i\u003eexamines this 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 since the 1970s 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNicholas Goodrick-Clarke offers a unique perspective on far right neo-Nazism viewing it as a new form of Western religious heresy. He paints a frightening picture of a religion with its own relics, rituals, prophecies and an international sectarian following that could, under the proper conditions, gain political power and attempt to realize its dangerous millenarian fantasies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas Goodrick-Clarke\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books on ideology and the Western esoteric tradition, including \u003ci\u003eHitler's Priestess\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOccult Roots of Nazism\u003c\/i\u003e, which has remained in print since its publication in 1985 and has been translated into eight languages.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50413356581138,"sku":"9780814731246","price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_08eef955-044a-4930-846d-9d142cb2f9b7.jpg?v=1729352914","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/black-sun-aryan-cults-esoteric-nazism-and-the-politics-of-identity-9780814731246","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
