Why Is There a Neo–Nazi on My Campus? A German Historian Explains
Jeremy Best
Tuesday, 14 Nov 2017 at 7:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
At Iowa State and campuses nationwide, white “nationalist†organizations have begun anonymous recruitment attempts with flyers, posters, and postcards. Jeremy Best, an assistant professor of history at Iowa State, will discuss the ideology of these organizations, their connection to the Nazis and other 20th-century fascist organizations, and why their white nationalism seems to have had a resurgence in our own times.
