This paper examines two articles addressing the phenomenon of Canadian Skinhead culture with a view to causation. The authors' conclusions shed some light on the origins of racism among skinheads, linking racism to the factors that have generated it in other groups, namely in unemployment, a sense of injustice pertaining to the fortunes of whites as opposed to those of minorities, and most of all, in the pathology of abuse and negative experience that produces other kinds of abusive and violent personalities. 10 pgs. 12 f/c. 14b.
