Encyclopedia of White Power: A Sourcebook on the Radical Racist Right is a reference book edited by Jeffrey Kaplan. It focuses on the White Power movement, mainly United States groups and individuals (with a few Norwegian and Swedish groups and individuals also included).
In addition to contributions by academics, its second half includes entries by far-right-wing people, prefaced by Kaplan, as well as a section of primary sources.{{Cite journal |date=February 2001 |title=Encyclopedia of white power; a sourcebook on the radical racist right. |journal=Reference & Research Book News |language=en |location=Portland |volume=16 |issue=1 |issn=08873763}} Kaplan's criteria for inclusion was that "the movements and individuals should be (i) strongly racialist, (ii) revolutionary, and (iii) have a strong religious streak." He approached contributors with the requirement that the authors "write an entry that would 'neither demonize nor proselytize, but would leave an accurate and unbiased historical record.'" It contains analysis of the organizations and philosophies in the white power movement and the inter-relationships that exist between the movement's leaders and groups. It was published by Altamira Press, a division of Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., as a 585-page hardcover in 2001.
