Encyclopedia of White Power: A Sourcebook on the Radical Racist Right is a reference book about the white supremacist movement, edited by scholar Jeffrey Kaplan. Kaplan was then a professor at the University of Helsinki, and the encyclopedia originated from his thesis on the topic. It was published by AltaMira Press in hardcover format in 2000. The book includes 101 entries arranged alphabetically; it focuses on mainly American groups and individuals, with some northern Europeans also included. It also includes entries on concepts relevant to the movement.
Most entries were written by Kaplan, with a few other scholars also writing entries, among them Mattias Gardell, Frederick J. Simonelli, and Katrine Fangen. In addition to contributions by academics, mostly Kaplan, it includes a section of primary sources related to the far-right, prefaced by Kaplan, and a few entries written by white supremacists as "guest entries". The encyclopedia received positive reviews, with praise for its objectivity, writing style, and inclusion criteria, though some criticism was given over content omissions.
