Cover Story: Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, “The Culture of Violent Talk: An Interpretive Approach” investigates how informal conversations among US white supremacists valorize violence. This unique type of data provides valuable insight regarding the micro-interactional dynamics that characterize white supremacists’ relationships across a range of spatial contexts. The article analyzes how this type of talk serves as a rhetorical device that provides these individuals with a sense of doing and an opportunity to express their frustrations and anger. However, violent talk does not necessarily indicate a direct correspondence between words and future behavior. To better understand the culture of violent talk, the article relies on symbolic interactionist concepts such as identity talk and insight gleaned from conversation analysis. View this paper.
