"When a Fascist Organization Set Up Shop in Their Town, Residents Fought Back
Michael Edison Hayden’s new book tells the story of an Appalachian town’s fight against an anti-immigrant behemoth.
Appalachian town’s fight against an anti-immigrant behemoth.
By Shane Burley
Michael Edison Hayden’s new book tells the story of an Appalachian town’s fight against an anti-immigrant behemoth.
There is a certain symmetry to what we have experienced over the past decade of collapsing national consensus and far right radicalization. In cities and small towns around the country, people are watching as their friendships break down along lines of political or moral agreement, and as the shadow of white nationalism towers over even the most seemingly idyllic environments.
This is the conflict that researcher and journalist Michael Edison Hayden found when looking at Berkeley Springs, a small and astoundingly beautiful corner of West Virginia nestled along the edge of Appalachia, where the anti-immigrant group VDARE, a popular far right publication founded in 1999 that mixed edgy Republicans like Pat Buchanan and Ann Coulter with explicit white nationalists, decided to purchase a literal castle to use as its home base. What happened next was a clash between residents and some of the most vocal and best-funded white supremacists in the country, and Hayden was pulled directly into that story as he stood with the town’s residents and faced personal and emotional catastrophe along with them.
This story is woven through his new book, *Strange People on the Hill*, a mix of deep reporting and painfully honest memoir that tells the story of people trying to survive alongside the increasing strangeness of the communities where we once felt at home."

Listening to a Last Born In The Wilderness interview with Shane Burley, recorded in 2020. A lot of the comments on antisemitism haven't aged well;

People expressing solidarity with Palestine have been subject to all these tropes. Most people now realise that seeing antisemitism in every rock and leaf is also a form of the obsessively contrarian thinking they call "conspiracy theory".

NEW: No Pasarán!: Inroads To Power & Antifascist Community Making w/ @Shane_Burley
LISTEN: https://soundcloud.com/lastborninthewilderness/shane-burley-4Author and journalist Shane Burley returns to the podcast to discuss the anthology ‘No Pasaran: Antifascist Dispatches from a World in Crisis,’ published this fall through AK Press. Burley is the editor and a contributor to this collection.
In catching up since our last interview, I ask Shane to clarify where the far-right stands in a "post-Trump" context. What inroads have far-right, and explicitly fascist, ideologues made in political discourse and policy in the United States over the past two years? How coherent is the far-right agenda and who are their targets? What are the paths to power? And most importantly, how can various subcultural spaces, as well as rural and urban communities, each build effective resistances to this threat? ‘No Pasaran,’ with its broad collection of voices, provides some of the most comprehensive answers to these questions.
