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.
This book explores the policies and ideologies of a number of
individuals and groups who attempted to relaunch fascist,
antisemitic and racist politics in the wake of World War II and the
Holocaust. Despite the leading architects of fascism being dead and
the newsreel footage of Jewish bodies being pushed into mass graves
seared into societal consciousness, fascism survived World War II
and, though changed, survives to this day. Britain was the country
that 'stood alone' against fascism, but it was no exception. This
book treads new historical ground and shines a light onto the most
understudied period of British fascism, whilst simultaneously
adding to our understanding of the evolving ideology of fascism,
the persistent nature of antisemitism and the blossoming of
Britain's anti-immigration movement. This book will primarily
appeal to scholars and students with an interest in the history of
fascism, antisemitism and the Holocaust, racism, immigration and
postwar Britain.

'Mulhall watches the extreme right revival from the inside - as an
anti-fascist infiltrator criss-crossing the global networks of
modern fascism - but he brings a deep analytical focus. By the end
of it we understand one thing: the threat of a second fascist era
is real.' Paul Mason, author of Postcapitalism 'An urgent missive
from the global frontlines of the fight against fascism.' Nima
Elbagir, CNN Senior International Correspondent A terrifying and
timely look at the spread of far-right movements across the globe.
Joe Mulhall knows what it's like to stare fascism in the face. For
a decade, often undercover at significant personal risk, he has
investigated hate groups. He infiltrated a US white supremacist
militia, set up a fake Ku Klux Klan branch, has been on countless
street marches with violent far-right groups across Europe, and got
inside some of the most important 'alt-right' meetings ever held.
Brazil, India and the US are still in thrall to authoritarian
populism, and far-right views have become steadily normalised in
mainstream politics. Mulhall's dramatic experiences on the front
line of anti-fascist activism, coupled with his academic research,
clearly explain the roots of both elected and non-elected far-right
movements across the globe. Above all, he concludes, the far right
should not be dehumanised - they are normal people, but with
dangerous beliefs that can be defeated. 'Joe has had a unique view
of the far right over the past decade as it transformed from a
marginal subculture into one of the defining political currents of
our time. He understands how these groups think and operate, and is
perfectly placed to guide readers through this disturbing but vital
story.' Daniel Trilling, journalist and author of Lights In The
Distance: Exile and Refuge at the Borders of Europe 'Few, if any,
are better placed to write a book of this breadth and scale than
Joe Mulhall.' Mark Townsend, Home Affairs editor of the Observer
