Race & Class, January 2012

The January 2012 issue of Race & Class contains two key articles which address pressing issues.

William Robinson and Mario Barrera examine fascist tendencies emerging in the US as a riposte to the contemporary crisis in global capitalism. Liz Fekete reveals how the perpetrator of the July 2011 Norwegian massacre was influenced by a dangerous ‘Muslim conspiracy theory’, akin to anti-Semitism, which is being widely circulated and becoming accepted across a political spectrum within Europe.
