ABSTRACT

Extreme Rightwing Organizations (EROs) routinely use media outlets to harass professors and students. Simultaneously, EROs fund speakers and campus organizations that have a history of intimidating members of academic communities. Debates about how and whether to respond to ERO tactics that are framed in terms of balancing ‘freedom of speech’ against ‘inclusion’ engage in a variety of color-evasive racism that sustains white supremacist ideology and protects white privilege. This framing legitimizes tactics that empower EROs with the right to silence their critics and foster a climate of oppression. Through an autoethnographic case study of struggles at a small liberal arts college with how to respond to ERO tactics, this article argues that rejecting the ‘freedom of speech’ versus ‘inclusion’ framing that so often characterizes the debates can help us to move beyond the paralysis that EROs have manufactured and rally against their tactics of intimidation and harassment.

摘要

极右翼组织 (ERO) 经常使用媒体来骚扰教授和学生。同时，ERO 资助有恐吓学术界成员历史的演讲者和校园组织。关于如何以及是否回应以平衡“言论自由”与“包容”为框架的 ERO 策略的辩论涉及各种回避肤色的种族主义，以维持白人至上主义意识形态并保护白人特权。这种框架使 ERO 有权压制批评者并营造压迫气氛的策略合法化。通过对一所小型文理学院如何应对 ERO 策略的斗争进行自我民族志案例研究，
