10 chapters from five continents (Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, Africa) provide a global perspective on current anti-feminism and anti-gender discourses Provides an analytical understanding of anti-feminism as an intersectional ideology between continuity and change, with a conceptual framework of analysis and a comparative perspective on common global trends as well as regional/national specifities Shows how discourses originally developed in the Global North/West are re-articulated in different national (including post-colonial) contexts, promoting an understanding of the entanglements between global and the local Presents new perspectives and information on different world regions, opening up new angles in research on transnational anti-feminist networks and the global spread of anti-gender discourses Provides a solid basis for further research in local, national and regional contexts This new book brings together research and analyses from five continents in order to promote a global perspective on the thoroughly global phenomenon of the current culture wars around sex and gender. The contributions show how transnational networks spread discourses that were developed in the Global North, and how they become re-articulated in different national, political and religious contexts. In recent years, issues of gender and sexuality have become a political battlefield on which far-right, religious and conservative actors wage their war against liberal and left-wing ideas, as well as emancipatory movements. 'Anti-Gender' crusades, which had originally been launched by the Vatican, deeply impacted societies and politics especially as these discourses were adopted by the secular far-right. Campaigns against sexual and reproductive rights, against gender equality and sexual diversity were waged from Russia to the United States and from Latin America to Japan.

In diesem Sammelband werden Erkenntnisse der Rechtsextremismusforschung uber die Akzeptanz menschenverachtender Ideologien der Ungleichheit aufgegriffen und mit Ansatzen der Politischen Bildung, der Padagogik und der Praventionsarbeit in Beziehung gesetzt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Handlungsstrategien gegen Rechtsextremismus. Ausgehend von theoretischen UEberlegungen zum Zusammenspiel von Rechtsextremismus und politischer Bildung werden diese mit padagogischen Praxen in Beziehung gesetzt und Moeglichkeiten und Hindernisse der Rechtsextremismuspravention nachgezeichnet.
