在过去十年中,右翼民兵的出现是一个备受讨论的现象。评论家正确地指出了他们的农村出身,他们的中下层和中产阶级组成,以及他们植根于种族主义,性别歧视,反犹太主义和同性恋恐惧症的意识形态,但很少有人评论所有最突出的方面:这些都是男性的运动,他们使用关于男性气质的叙述作为分析棱镜,通过它来理解自己的处境,并质疑“他人”的身份,“并作为一种修辞策略,以招募和维持自己的成员在这篇论文中,我们进行这种分析,探索民兵运动的农村起源,其社会构成,意识形态和组织,以及其与其他白色至上主义团体的衔接。我们认为,他们的男子气概的愿景,特别是自力更生,自制的男子气概特有的美国历史,是统一的意识形态和组织的农村民兵与好战的右翼连续体,他们只是其中的一部分的主题。
The appearance of right-wing militias was a much-discussed phenomenon during the past decade. Commentators rightly pointed out their rural origins, their lower-middle-class and middle-class composition, and their ideology rooted in racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, and homophobia, but few if any, have commented on the most salient aspect of all: that these are movements of men, who use narratives about masculinity as an analytic prism through which to understand their own situation and to problematize the identities of "others," and as a rhetorical strategy to recruit and sustain their own membership In this;paper we undertake this analysis, exploring the rural origins of the militia movement, its social composition, ideology, and organization, and its articulation with other white supremacist groups. We argue that their vision of masculinity, particularly a self-reliant, self-made masculinity endemic to American history, is the theme unifying both the ideology and the organization of rural militias with the militant right-wing continuum of which they are only a part.
