Abstract:
For librarian Atkins (Texas A&M U.), an extremist movement, group, or organization deviates from normal economic, political, religious, or social standards; and an extremist individual pursues polices or practices that are far outside the societal norm of personal behavior. He excludes criminals who merely seek personal gain. The period he considers ranges from the founding of the Ku Klux Klan in December 1866, to the December 2001 arrest of Clayton Lee Waagner for sending anthrax hoax letters to abortion clinics. He cross-references, and includes suggested readings for each entry.
