Background

Scope and content:

This collection consists of printed extremist literature Feldman acquired in the late 1990s and early 2000s, largely produced by American Nazi groups, right-wing white supremacists, and Christian nationalist publishers. The collection's content is largely anti-Semitic, racist, Christian nationalist, and pro-Nazism or nationalist-socialism, dating from the 1970s through the late 1990s. Some exceptions include a small number of pamphlets printed by the Revolutionary Communist Party or Nation of Islam-affiliated groups. Acquired as part of the Human Rights Archive (Duke University).

Within the Extremist Literature series, the majority of publications are modern reprints from groups such as The Truth at Last (also referred to as Thunderbolt, Inc), Liberty Bell Publications, Church of Jesus Christ Christian-Aryan Nations, CPA Book Publisher, Kingdom Identity Ministries, and the NSDAP/AO, among others. This series also contains a set of translated and reprinted Nazi works, issued by Preuss, seeking to redistribute Third Reich German propaganda from the 1930s and 1940s. For the most part, this series is virulently anti-Semitic, racist, and white Christian nationalist. There are a few outliers from groups such as Nation of Islam and North Korea's Foreign Languages Publishing House, which tend to also relay nationalist viewpoints but do so while denouncing the United States.

The Revolutionary Communist Party reprints are largely articles from the Revolutionary Worker magazine or were issued by Revolution Books. These items discuss a range of left-wing topics including discrimination against communities of color, prison abolition, Mumia Abu Jamal and Black Power, and genocide.
