Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Blee, a sociology professor, has written a fascinating and disturbing book about the women of the Ku Klux Klan (WKKK) in the 1920s. In Part 1, she examines the historical, cultural, and symbolic contexts of the Klan in the United States. In Part 2, she looks at activities of the women's Klan in Indiana and gives biographical sketches of some of the more prominent women in the Indiana WKKK. Through her extensive research, including interviews with surviving WKKK members, examining seized Klan documents, and reading local newspapers, Blee found that for many women the WKKK offered a logical place for them to express political views while also providing a home of like-minded females who shared social and moral concerns. While many books have been written about the history of the Ku Klux Klan, this is the first to focus on women. An important work which should be purchased by larger public and research libraries. Highly recommended. (Illustrations and index not seen.)-- Cindy Faries, Pennsylvania State Univ. Lib., University Park

Kurzbeschreibung
Ignorant. Brutal. Male. One of these stereotypes of the Ku Klux Klan offers a misleading picture. In "Women of the Klan", sociologist Kathleen M. Blee dismantles the popular notion that politically involved women are always inspired by pacifism, equality, and justice. In her new preface, Blee reflects on how recent scholarship on gender and right-wing extremism suggests new ways to understand women's place in the 1920s Klan's crusade for white and Christian supremacy.

Not only is the subject matter disturbing, but the way in which the author has manipulated her data to prove her bias is just as disturbing. One of her "anonymous informants" was a 70 year old woman who was relating her memories as a 5 to 7 year old child. Ms. Blee repeatedly refered to her as and active participant! Her depiction of "Lillian Rouse", my grandmother, is a concoction that is not recognizable at all. Her notes in relation to her interview with my mother are not correct. She has taken bits and pieces and manipulated them to prove her point, reguardless of the facts. If what she has done to my mother's information is indicative of how she (mis)used other information, I cannot put much credance in her work.

Ms. Blee has many flaws in her research, documentation, interpretation and conclusions. At worst this is a conscious manipulation of fact to support Ms. Blee's preconceived thesis. At best it is a work of pure fiction.

Blee's work on women in hate movements sheds new light on why women join and support white supremacist movements. Her analysis of extensive archival data and interviews complicates how our assumptions about the role of gender in promoting bigotry and prejudice, while at the same time heralding eerily feminist principles. My students loved it because it was clear, engaging, and gave them several issues to grapple with around research and data interpretation. Though white supremacists were (and still are) on the whole, economically disenfranchised adn educationally bankrupt, Blee shows how a few "dangerous minds" are capable of mobilizing mass numbers of people in the name of "racial superiority."
