Forum speaker describes the rise of alt-right nationalism
BENNINGTON — University of Michigan professor Alexandra Stern was “not all that surprised” by the storming of the Capitol building on Jan. 6, since armed white nationalists had earlier entered the capitol in her state during protests over Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s COVID-19 regulations.
Stern was the guest speaker Thursday during the fourth in a series of six forums on the events of Jan. 6 sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Public Action at Bennington College.
She spoke on “The Alt-Right and White nationalism on the American Landscape.”
Stern, the author of “Proud Boys and the White Ethnostate: How the Alt-Right is Warping the American Imagination,” said she sees the events in Lansing, Mich., in 2020 as “a dry run, both in terms of ideology and in networking” for the groups involved.
