Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity

More than half a century after the defeat of Nazism and fascism, the far right is again challenging the liberal order of Western democracies. This work examines the new neofascist ideology, showing how hate groups, militias and conspiracy cults attempt to gain influence. Based on interviews and extensive research into underground groups, the book documents the new Nazi and fascist sects that have sprung up from the 1970s up to the present and examines the mentality and motivation of these far-right extremists. The result is a detailed portrait of the mythical and devotional aspects of Hitler cults among Aryan mystics, racist skinheads and Nazi satanists, Black Metal music fans, and in occult literature.
