Winner of the Charles H. Cooley Award from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction. Richard G. Mitchell Jr. spent more than a dozen years among survivalists at public conferences, private meetings, and clandestine training camps across America. He takes us inside a compelling, hidden world more connected to the chaos of modern life many of us experience than the label "separatist" suggests. In survivalism Mitchell found a profound and meaningful critique of contemporary industrial society, a subculture in which the real evil is not repressive government but the far more insidious influence of a "Planet Microsoft" mentality with its abundance of empty choices. Survivalists, Mitchell shows us, are seeking resistance, not struggling against it; they are looking for ways to define themselves and test their talents in a society that is becoming devitalized and formless.

On the other hand, Mitchell did run into his share of bitter members of a fading American White Male Republic, who he makes no bones about feeling soiled by association with (you always remember your first cross burning), and some of these folks came to bad ends due to their obsessions and hatreds. This is even when Mitchell scoffs at the media picture of a vast survivalist/militia underground waiting to explode. Let's just say that when the author got his own concealed-weapons license he figured that it was time to move on. ( )
