Far-right populist politics have arrived in the mainstream. We are
now witnessing the shameless normalization of a political discourse
built around nationalism, xenophobia, racism, sexism, antisemitism
and Islamophobia. But what does this change mean? What caused it?
And how does far-right populist discourse work? The Politics of
Fear traces the trajectory of far-right politics from the margins
of the political landscape to its very centre. It explores the
social and historical mechanisms at play, and expertly ties these
to the "micro-politics" of far-right language and discourse. From
speeches to cartoons to social media posts, Ruth Wodak
systematically analyzes the texts and images used by these groups,
laying bare the strategies, rhetoric and half-truths the far-right
employ. The revised second edition of this best-selling book
includes: A range of vignettes analyzing specific instances of
far-right discourse in detail. Expanded discussion of the
"normalization" of far-right discourse. A new chapter exploring the
challenges to liberal democracy. An updated glossary of far-right
parties and movements. More discussion of the impact of social
media on the rise of the far-right. Critical, analytical and
impassioned, The Politics of Fear is essential reading for anyone
looking to understand how far-right and populist politics have
moved into the mainstream, and what we can do about it.
