white hoods:
canada’s ku klux klan
White Hoods is the first book about the Hooded Empire in Canada. Award–winning journalist and author Julian Sher traces the Canadian Ku Klux Klan from its birth in the early 1920s, through its powerful influence within Saskatchewan’s Conservative party in the 1920s and 1930s, to its renaissance under James McQuirter in the 1980s. McQuirter led the Klan to new heights in the 1980s, until he was jailed for conspiracy to commit murder and his role in a bungled coup in the Caribbean.
Sher uses personal investigations and candid interviews, as well as unpublished studies and the Klan’s own publications to shed light on the KKK’s links with the police, with neo–Nazi movements throughout the world, and with its American counterpart.
_____________
“There is much to praise in this study … There is never any doubt were the author himself stands: the prose throughout is infused with a subtle anti-racist tone, all the more effective because it is controlled.”
-Canadian Ethnic Studies
“The book makes for fascinating reading as a case study of the ties between right-wing organizations … and the climate of opinion that gives rise to racist organizations.”
-Canadian Historical Review
