The Culture Of Violent Talk: An Interpretive Approach, Peter Simi, Steven Windisch

These discussions, however, do not necessarily involve a direct correspondence between words and future behavior. To better understand the culture of violent talk, we investigate how white supremacist extremists use these discussions as a rhetorical …
