- catalog abstract ""Skinheads Shaved for Battle investigates the world of young American men and women - sometimes boys and girls - who helped form the most significant and violent new hate group of the 1980s. Bound together far more by common beliefs and attitudes than by structural links, racist skinheads (non-racist skinheads also exist) developed during the decade from a greatly splintered and marginal presence on the punk scene to become a highly explosive, dominating force praised and courted by the country's older, more established right wing extremist organizations." "Now an international phenomenon, skinheads were first sighted in England as another in a series of youthful counter-cultural movements and viewed sometimes sympathetically for rejecting the dead end life held out to young working class people in a shoddy welfare state. The skinhead scene ballooned in the late 1960s and then withered. In the mid 1970s it re-formed, growing in the shadow of the punk scene, only this time with a more clearly political agenda directed against minorities and homosexuals." "The Southern Poverty Law Center has termed skinheads "a unique and frightening phenomenon ... initiated by teenagers," unconfined "to any single geographic region," a group "whose gangs sprang up spontaneously." The Anti-Defamation League demonstrated in publication after publication why neo-Nazi skinheads were not simply a "menacing presence" in America but one of the greatest threats to civil rights in the nation." "Skinheads Shaved for Battle investigates the English roots of skinhead style; the American variant's development within larger youth group scenes; the ideas and activities of racist skinheads; their modes of organization; the role of music in their formation; their presentation in the media; and the damage they have done in American society. Buttressing his standard library research with study in Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League archives and first-hand interviews, Jack B. Moore emphasizes throughout the American identity of skinheadism."--Jacket.".
