“...The origins of the skinheads, manifestation, attitudes, organizations and currents are shown in the first chapters. It is emphasized that there are not only right skins, but also anti-racist or unpolitical skins. By means of a differentiated analysis of scene magazines, CDs and shipping lists, the question is examined, how right wing tendencies in the scene express and which form they adopt...” Information- and documentation service against violence, right wing extremism and xenophobia in North Rhine Westfalia (IDA-NRW)

“Holger Bredel created the probably most comprehensive scientific documentation to the issue ‘skinheads’ that is currently available on the international book market (...) astonishingly easy to read.” Moloko Plus No. 22/2002
