FROM THE FOREWORD: “Volume 2 focuses on Protest, Rebellion, Reform, the issues that generate group violence. Four of the contributors to the first edition, including its editors, reassess their views about the historical precedents and international parallels of American violence. There are few surprises here, but a wealth of new evidence and theories that deepen our sense of understand. ing about the sources of recurring conflict and the tenuous nature of consensus in American society. Other chapters deal with new issues: the belated emergence and decline of activism by Native Americans, the steady decline of political terrorist since the early 1970s, and the recurring threat of violence from right-wing extremists like the Ku Klux Klan, the Order, and the Aryan Nations.
