Did a thesis on the rise of racist skinhead culture in the US and it’s origin and evolution (into a racist movement) in the UK, back in college (in the early 90s). While most of the research came from magazines, newspapers and videos, some books that were helpful included (off the top of my head):

Blood In The Face

Skinhead by Nick Knight

Subculture and CutNMix by Dick Hebdige

Also there was an incredible article on Bob Heick leader of the American Front and arguably I’d say one of the first guys to popularize the Nazi skinhead movement here in the US, published in Rolling Stone back in the late 80s. If you can find it I’d recommend tracking it down.

Good luck with your research

I would recommend reading [The White Noise Supremacists] (http://www.mariabuszek.com/mariabuszek/kcai/PoMoSeminar/Readings/BangsWhite.pdf) by Lester Bangs as it involves racism in the early punk scene and is (of course) remarkably well-written. Good luck on your masters!
