• 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)
