Kathleen Belew

Kathleen Belew is assistant professor of history at the University of Chicago. She unearthed the lives of her white power militant subjects in previously classified FBI documents, newspapers published from Nicaragua to New York, and vivid testimony, writings, and illustrations. Tracking the path of violence from the aftermath of war to paramilitarism through thousands of pages of documents and more than a decade of research and writing, her work provides an insight and authority rarely seen in such accounts.
