Sommario/riassunto

"The far-right English Defence League (EDL) is a strange product of global and local dynamics, most prominently the 'War on Terror'. While the EDL has become well known for its high-profile Islamophobic demonstrations within local communities, the bulk of its day-to-day activity occurs online within its social networking sites, between supporters - referred to as 'keyboard warriors'. 'Keyboard warriors'' activities are confined to the virtual realm and they are unlikely to attend EDL events in physical space, such as demonstrations. This book explores the kind of Islamophobic identity that is produced by EDL supporters  within the networking sites, and focuses on how this identitty is constructed around insecurities that are central to the lives of this populations"--Back cover.
