Author Description

Summary:"This book celebrates the life and work of scholar-activist Chip Berlet. His contributions over four decades have had broad-ranging impacts: on activists, independent intellectuals, and academics, from think tanks and social movements to generations of scholars. Berlet's work over the decades has covered a wide range of topics, from the Christian Right, armed militias, social movement theory and white supremacy to conspiracism, civil liberties and government surveillance. This book features contributions reflecting on many of these topics by leading scholars and activists who have been inspired by his work and example. This book will be of great interest to scholars, students, and activists within anti-racist, anti-fascist and progressive social movements"-- Provided by publisher
