This book is the first collection of scholarship featuring both
Canadian and American scholarship on the resurgent right-wing
extremist movement in the two countries. It is particularly timely
given the recent rise in political populism that has engendered
renewed activism from extreme right contingents. Trump's right-wing
populist and white nationalist political campaign has galvanized
Canadian and American white supremacist ideologies, identities,
movements and practices. Leading Canadian and American scholars are
brought together to explore a contemporary array of current
dynamics, patterns and characteristics associated with the movement
in each country. Split into four sections, it provides an
introduction to extremism in the 21st century, it examines studying
extremism, forms of extremist activity and violence, and the
responses. The collection allows comparisons to be drawn out from
the distinct treatments of each country. It speaks to students as
well as scholars in social sciences departments, including
criminology, sociology, social justice, and terrorism, peace and
security studies, and political-violence related programs.

This book comprehensively examines right-wing extremism (RWE) in
Canada, discussing the lengthy history of violence and
distribution, ideological bases, actions, organizational capacity
and connectivity of these extremist groups. It explores the current
landscape, the factors that give rise to and minimise these
extremist groups, strategies for countering these groups, and the
emergence of the 'Alt-Right'. It draws on interviews with law
enforcement officials, community activists, and current and former
right-wing activists to inform and offer practical advice, paired
with analyses of open source intelligence on the state of the RWE
movement in Canada. The historical and contemporary contours of
right-wing extremism in Canada are situated within the social,
political, and cultural landscape that has shaped the movement. It
will be of particular interest to students and researchers of
criminology, sociology, social justice, terrorism and political
violence.
