London in the early 1960s was experiencing a growing class separation between the working class - struggling, relegated to substandard housing, and increasingly neglected by their political representatives - and the middle class. Those youths who could afford it, invested in new fashions popularized by American soul groups, British RnB bands and certain movie actors, as well as Carnaby Street merchants (clothing). These were the Mods, a youth subculture noted for its consumerism and affection for style, music and scooters. Those of lesser me ...

Gay skinheads as a group are a distinct and separate subculture of the skinhead subculture. It is distinct in that it has its own unique set of rules for social interaction, which combine elements of generic gay male interaction with skinhead modes of expression. For example, one gay skinhead might engage another in a fistfight or wrestling match to establish which will take the dominant role in a subsequent sexual encounter. The gay skinhead subculture is separate from that of other skinheads because such interactions would al ...

White Power as an ideology is conterminous with the skinhead subculture that developed in the United Kingdom in the first half of the 1980s. Typically racist, conservative, and anti-semitic, it emerged in a time when the United Kingdom was experiencing the second wave of Punk rock. Punk rock ideals were theoretically opposed to extreme commercialism, but as with any subculture that develops even a modest amount of popularity, it was exploited by the mainstream media. The left-wing created the image of the Punks as Leftist while the revival of the skinhead style ...

Anti-racism refers to beliefs, actions, movements, and policies adopted or developed to oppose racism. In general, anti-racism is intended to promote an egalitarian society in which people do not face discrimination on the basis of their race, however defined. By its nature, anti-racism tends to promote the view that racism in a particular society is both pernicious and socially pervasive, and that particular changes in political, economic, and/or social life are required to eliminate it.

The most general definition of nationalism is broad, and has been controversial throughout history. Specific examples of nationalism are extremely diverse. Extreme emotions are aroused when discussing nationalism, and that makes it difficult to describe and define nationalism. A recurring problem is that people define nationalism on the basis of their local experience. To a Breton nationalist, the central issue is state nationalism versus cultural nationalism; elsewhere that distinction may be irrelevant. Often supporters of nationalism fear ...

The history of this faction within the Punk subculture dates back as early as the late 1970s, with an organization from England known as the Punk Front. This group was a division of the racialist organziation, The British National Front. The Nazi Skinhead subculture took over as the leaders of the White Power music movement soon after the demise of the Punk Front in the early 1980s. However, Nazi-Punkism started sparking up world-wide. It eventually hit America by the 1980s, during the rise of the American Hardcore Punk scene. Although the numbers of Nazi Punks have always been small within the subculture, it should ...

Although some like to think of hooliganism as a mainly European problem, there have been many instances of sports-related violence in North America as well. Interestingly, sports violence in North America does not seem to take the same team-based, "us vs. them" tone as in other parts of the world, but is more frequently a breakdown of order following a particularly important victory or galling defeat. Some of the more famous examples of fan violence include: The 1974 Nickel Beer Brawl at a baseball game at Cleveland Stadi ...

The term "race" itself is somewhat contentious. Anthropologists tend to be of the opinion that the concept has little or no scientific value, while biologists generally view it as meaningful and useful. Many geneticists, such as Cavalli-Sforza, have insisted that the term be abandoned in a scientific context, and prefer the term "population group," because it better describes the idea of a breeding population which has been more or less endogamous for enough ...
