The alt-right has been the most important new far-right grouping to
appear in decades. Written by researchers from the anti-racist
advocacy group HOPE not hate, this book provides a thorough,
ground-breaking, and accessible overview of this dangerous new
phenomenon. It explains where the alt-right came from, its history
so far, what it believes, how it organises and operates, and its
future trajectory. The alt-right is a genuinely transnational
movement and this book is unique in offering a truly international
perspective, outlining the influence of European ideas and
movements as well as the alt-right's development in, and attitude
towards, countries as diverse as Japan, India, and Russia. It
examines the ideological tributaries that coagulated to form the
alt-right, such as white supremacy, the neo-reactionary
blogosphere, the European New Right, the anti-feminist manosphere,
the libertarian movement, and digital hate culture exemplified by
offensive memes and trolling. The authors explore the alt-right's
views on gender, sexuality and masculinity, antisemitism and the
Holocaust, race and IQ, globalisation and culture as well as its
use of violence. The alt-right is a thoroughly modern far-right
movement that uses cutting edge technology and this book reveals
how they use cryptocurrencies, encryption, hacking, "meme warfare",
social media, and the dark web. This will be essential reading for
scholars and activists alike with an interest in race relations,
fascism, extremism, and social movements.
