. . . . . he covers virtually all of those in the book.

In fact, I almost took a quote from the section he devotes to the Native American boarding schools but chose this one (from the "Introduction&quot instead because I thought it pointed to the attitude far too many take: That the hate talk that's spread over the past 25-30 years is often brushed off as just talk, or even as entertainment (!), when it really is an incitement to violence. And it has led to the enactment of "laws" such as we're now seeing in Florida and Texas, and to a lesser extent in terms of media coverage, everywhere from Iowa to Arizona to Alaska to Montana to South Carolina.

"Eliminationism" can be defined as a belief or ideology or even a governmental policy, but Neiwert is writing about the people who embrace -- consciously or not -- that belief, and how they've been allowed and/or encouraged in that belief, whether as individuals, as politicians/candidates, as media personalities, or whatever.
