"The book's unflinching, detailed account of White racial violence
in Ohio can serve as a valuable reference for not only experts but
also anti-racist organizations and perhaps even movements toward
reparations. ... An important resource, this book is a timely
contribution to Ohio and midwestern history." --Britt Halvorson,
Middle West Review
"An exceptionally thorough history of white supremacy focused on
Ohio but relevant nationwide. By analyzing supremacist influences
on American history, from conquests of Native Americans to today's
alt right, the authors have created an eye-opening resource. Its
accessible style will engage a broad readership." --Deborah Levine,
editor of American Diversity Report
"In this extensively researched and meticulously documented book,
Brooks and Fitrakis effectively trace the origins of racism and
nativism that have punctuated Ohio's history, including the
'everyday white supremacy' that is present to this day." --Barry
Balleck, author of Allegiance to Liberty: The Changing Face of
Patriots, Militias, and Political Violence in America
"Painstakingly exposes the long, tragic, and pervasive existence
(and occasional dominance) of racial hatred and discrimination in
the state....A History of Hate in Ohio offers new insights
regarding white supremacist movements in the Midwest and
nationally. The deep connections between contemporary political
leaders and the white supremacist movements of the 1980s and 1990s
are especially revealing." --Andrew Varsanyi, H-Net
