Yet we still rarely get a clear sense of who and what the Alt-Right actually are, and what their long-term effect is likely to be.Journalist Mike Wendling knows. He's been following the Alt-Right closely for years, and with this book he shares the deep knowledge he's gleaned. Media accounts to the contrary, the Alt-Right didn't just burst out of nowhere in 2016--rather, they have been building their network quietly for years, using bulletin boards and social media to spread a toxic hybrid of technological utopianism, reactionary philosophy, and racial hatred. Wendling traces clearly the rise of the movement and the evolution of its ideas, and he introduces us to some of its key figures--many of whom he interviewed personally for the book. He explores links between Alt-Right rhetoric and hate crimes and terrorism, showing that the evidence connecting them is undeniable. Ultimately, however, he builds a strong case that the movement's lack of a coherent base and its contradictory tendencies are already sapping its strength and will lead to its downfall.A shocking expos of a movement whose emergence stunned the world, Alt-Right presents a disturbing picture of our current political moment. 606 $aRight-wing extremists 615 0$aRight-wing extremists. 676 $a320.520973 700 $aWendling$b Mike$01805618 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974423603321 996 $aAlt-Right$94354324 997 $aUNINA
