MATT & TAWNI
BROWNING

Matson Browning is an undercover detective in AZ thought he knew what hate looked like, that is, until he got a front row seat to White supremacy. For more than 25 years, Browning has been infiltrating, documenting and disrupting White supremacy movements from the inside, gaining and intimate vatage point to the KKK, skinheads, border militias, Proud Boys and other White power groups, as they organized and grew, their ranks including police force and military veterans. Together with his intrepid wife, Tawni, he adopted fake ids and ideologies, seeking the arrest of its hate groups participants -- none more so than JT Ready, a neo-Nazi who took "hunting trips" for border migrants while gaining mainstream acceptance as a political candidate -- and terrorizing Browning's family. What others dismissed as fringe groups, Browning quickly recognized as large and interconnected organizations permeating every facet of American society, effectively spreading their dangerous and repugnant rhetoric at unprecedented speeds. Now, with the violent polarization in our communities and an increase in hate crimes, the threat posed by these toxic organizations feels as acute as ever. 

In this imperative and gripping narrative, Browning gives readers the inside story of modern-day White supremacy in America in all of its variation. The Hate Next Door, is a riveting, enlightening, of the what, where, when, and why of White supremacist groups, how to identify them, and why we must all do everything in our power to fight against hate.
