Explore the revival of far-right movements and parties over the
past few decades in varying liberal-democracies, including the
United States, Canada and Australia, Hungary, Poland and Taiwan.
After decades on the social and political margins, far-right groups
and movements in 2019 are enjoying increasing success, and even
claiming a place in mainstream electoral politics in many Western
political systems. Research shows that new media like Twitter,
YouTube, and community sites likes 4chan and Reddit are
increasingly involved with the mobilization of popular support for
far-right electoral campaigns, and even organized political
violence. These technologies - including other social media,
discussion websites, certain online games, chat servers, talk
radio, cable news, and print media - are making contemporary
far-right ideologies possible in diverse ways, altering methods of
recruitment to the extent that they become unrecognizable from
far-right movements of the past, and thus, more dangerous. The
results of these new technological processes can be seen in the
increasing normalization of far-right values within mainstream
culture, politics, and media ecosystems within countries from the
United States, Britain, Canada and Australia to Germany, Poland and
Hungary. This book brings together recent academic research
exploring how far-right groups use new media to recruit followers
to extremist beliefs and mobilize political action. In doing so,
the book reveals the complex ways that evolving technologies are
used both purposively, subtly, and in some cases incidentally, to
recruit and mobilize far-right support.
