I'm still calculating the stars, but as of right now it's around 4 stars.
This book is basically a follow up on "american swastika", and the notes are a decent reading list (although the citing of Dworkin & Rich in those concern me & I'll need to review it).

Great book that offered both stories from a few women at varying stages of white nationalism in the twenty teens and historical context. She doesn't shy away from self reflection, but makes it about the women and not white guilt. Also I like that she provided actual follow up. Some NF writers kinda shrug at the end of the book and though this one will not leave you feeling good you don't feel all the way hopeless. She does this without disillusionment that these actions will make white nationalism go away.
Only issues is I wish there was a TW on language in audiobook form, but then again maybe some white women need to hear it so *shrugs*. I know I should have expected it but damn. Another thing is I prefer that chapters were names so I can reference it later. Both issues didn't warrant a less than 4.75 stars though.
