Current Work
Dr. Kamali is the author of "Homegrown Hate: Why White Nationalists and Militant Islamists Are Waging War against the United States," which was published by University of California Press in 2021.
In the first and only book to directly compare White nationalists and militant Islamists in the United States, Dr. Kamali examines their histories and networks as well as their self-described beliefs, grievances, and rationales for violence.In "Homegrown Hate," she also examines and addresses how interlocking institutions of power oppress the many while maintaining systems of privilege for a select few.
She defines this approach as “holistic justice,” which moves beyond antiracism to anti-oppression in order to redress interlocking inequities at the axis of systemic racism by contextualizing history to cultivate empathy and understanding, and networking across marginalized identities to achieve solidarity.
