To Chip and others here up on the scholarship. Have seen historical studies on the Klan, beyond the Patsy Sims and other general treatments of the entire 100 + history of the KKK, as well as specific works on for example, Woman and the Klan, or the far right in Pennsylvania, 1925-1950, etc. Can you send a good biblio. to this H-Radical History poster. That Zerzan sure gets around, from years ago seeing his anti-work pieces in Telos, to the Eugene, OR. anarchists in Seattle stories in the Times, etc. to French neo-nazis appropriating him!
