Hate in the Homeland
Hate in the Homeland
Description
Hate crimes. Misinformation and conspiracy theories. Foiled white-supremacist plots. The signs of growing far-right extremism are all around us, and communities across America and around the globe are struggling to understand how so many people are being radicalized and why they are increasingly attracted to violent movements.Hate in the Homelandshows how tomorrow's far-right nationalists are being recruited in surprising places, from college campuses and mixed martial arts gyms to clothing stores, online gaming chat rooms, and YouTube cooking channels.
Instead of focusing on the how and why of far-right radicalisation, Cynthia Miller-Idriss seeks answers in the physical and virtual spaces where hate is cultivated. Where does the far right do its recruiting? When do young people encounter extremist messaging in their everyday lives? Miller-Idriss shows how far-right groups are swelling their ranks and developing their cultural, intellectual, and financial capacities in a variety of mainstream settings. She demonstrates how young people on the margins of our communities are targeted in these settings, and how the path to radicalisation is a nuanced process of moving in and out of far-right scenes throughout adolescence and adulthood.
Hate in the Homelandis essential for understanding the tactics and underlying ideas of modern far-right extremism.
'In her disturbing book Hate in the Homeland: The New Global Far Right, Professor Cynthia Miller-Idriss argues convincingly that "innovative, flexible and youth-driven ideas" are vital in the battle to counter the online transnational recruiting of fascist zealots.' Martin Chilton, The Independent
'A timely book that calls for vigilance against extremism in hitherto unexpected corners, online and off.' Kirkus Reviews
'In Hate in the Homeland Cynthia Miller-Idriss describes how ideas once limited to extremist circles, such as that of a 'demographic replacement' - whereby American citizens will be overrun - are now promoted by mainstream figures such as Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham of Fox News.' The Economist
