Excerpt: The Vitkov arson attack of 2009 occurred during the night of 18 / 19 April 2009. Three Molotov cocktails were thrown through the windows of a house inhabited by a Roma family. Three people were injured. The most seriously injured was a three year old girl named Natalie, who suffered life-threatening burns on 80% of her body. Text in italics describes those parts of the investigation which were unknown to the general public at the time. Before the attack, one of the perpetrators called a friend, who was at a discotheque. Asked about the call by her companion, the girl answered, "He said they are going on gypsies." A volunteer fireman, who was near the two young women in the discotheque overheard the conversation. On the next day he made the connection between the conversation and the arson attack, and contacted the police.

本書は、スキンヘッドという特異なサブカルチャーが孕む多層的なアイデンティティを、事実の断片から浮き彫りにする稀有な試みです。労働者階級の連帯から生まれた音楽的源流と、後に生じた凄惨な暴力。その光と影が交差する地平に、人間の帰属意識が持つ根源的な危うさと情熱を鋭く問いかけます。 特筆すべきは、映画『THIS IS ENGLAND』や『ロンパー・ストンパー』等の映像作品との対照です。スクリーンが描く剥き出しの焦燥感に対し、本書は歴史的文脈を補完し、彼らの怒りの本質を鮮やかに解体します。虚構と現実を往還することで、若者たちの叫びがより深い社会学的洞察へと昇華される快感は、まさに圧巻の一言に尽きます。
