To understand how women/gender play into the ideologies and organizing of yesterday’s violence, here are some great scholars on white women and far-right terrorism you should follow and read ⬇️
@seywarddarby's book "Sisters in Hate" follows three women in Alt-Right extremist groups and illustrates some of the gendered pathways in, and treatment of women by those groups. Born of this great @Harpers piece: https://harpers.org/archive/2017/09/the-rise-of-the-valkyries/
@aamattheis ‘Shieldmaidens of Whiteness’ on the narratives that women use to negotiate their place in far right ideologies- exploiting and twisting traditional maternalist ideas: https://journals.sfu.ca/jd/index.php/jd/article/view/177
‘Disordered Violence,’ a new book by @DrCaron_Gentry theorizes about misogynistic (and radicalized) violence against women as terrorism, and also addresses how gender and race structure our understanding of what terrorism is: https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/disordered-violence.html
