Abstract：
Drawing upon in-depth life-history interviews with 91 North American-based former white supremacists, we examine how participants perceive homicidal violence as either an appropriate or inappropriate political strategy. Based on the current findings, participants considered homicidal violence as largely inappropriate due to moral concerns and its politically ineffective nature but also discussed how homicidal violence could be an appropriate defensive measure in RAHOWA (Racial Holy War) or through divine mandate. Capturing how white supremacists frame the permissibility of homicidal violence is a step toward better understanding the \"upper limit\" or thresholds for violence among members who are trying to construct and negotiate a collective identity that involves violent and aggressive worldviews.
摘要：
借鉴了对91位北美前白人至上主义者的深入生活史采访，我们研究参与者如何将杀人暴力视为适当或不适当的政治策略。根据目前的调查结果,参与者认为杀人暴力在很大程度上是不合适的，因为道德上的担忧及其政治上的无效性质，但也讨论了杀人暴力如何成为RAHOWA（种族圣战）或通过神圣授权的适当防御措施。捕捉白人至上主义者如何构建杀人暴力的可容许性，是朝着更好地理解试图构建和谈判涉及暴力和侵略性世界观的集体身份的成员之间暴力的“上限”或阈值迈出的一步。
