Force[s] even the most sophisticated to rethink and rework their ideas of how images work in the world. School Library JournalThis is a classic story, masterfully told, in a new, revised and expanded edition about how one graphic symbol can endure and influence lifefor good and evilfor generations and never, even today, be redeemed. A nuanced examination of the most powerful symbol ever created, The Swastika and Symbols of Hate explores the rise and fall of the symbol, its mysteries, cooption, and misunderstandings. Readers will be fascinated by the twists and turns of the swastikas fortunes, from its preNazi spiritualreligious and benign commercial uses, to the Nazi appropriation and criminalization of the form, to its contemporary applications as both a racist, hatefilled logo and ignorantly hip identity. Once the mark of good fortune, during the twentieth century it was hijacked and perverted, twisted into the graphic embodiment of intolerance. If you want to know what the logo for hate looks like, go no further.The Nazi swastika is a visual obscenity and provokes deep emotions on all sides. The Nazis weaponized this design, first as a party emblem, then as a sign of national pride and, ultimately, as the trademark of Adolf Hitlers unremitting malevolence in the name of national superiority. A skilled propagandist, Hitler and his accomplices understood how to stoke fear through mass media and through emblems, banners, and uniforms. Many contemporary hate marks are rooted in Nazi iconography both as serious homage and sarcastic digital bots and trolls. Given the increasing tolerance for supremacist intolerance tacitly and overtly shown by politicians the world over, this revised (and reconfigured) edition includes additional material on old and new hate logos as it examines graphic designs role in farright extremist ideology today.
