Sommario/riassunto

How have digital tools and networks transformed the far right's



strategies and transnational prospects? This volume presents a unique critical survey of the online and offline tactics, symbols and platforms that are strategically remixed by contemporary far-right groups in Europe and the US. It features thirteen accessible essays by an international range of expert scholars, policy advisors and activists who offer informed answers to a number of urgent practical and theoretical questions: How and why has the internet emboldened extreme nationalisms? What counter-cultural approaches should civil societies develop in response?

»Diese globale Perspektive ist mit Blick auf die grenzübergreifende Vernetzung der Akteure nur konsequent und bringt eine Vielzahl neuer Erkenntnisse mit sich.«  Tobias Fernholz, Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, 32/3 (2019)    Besprochen in:  Rundbrief Begegnungszentrum für aktive Gewaltlosigkeit, 1 (2019)
