Description

The far-right's recruitment strategies are being played out in unexpected places. From college campuses to online gaming chat rooms and YouTube cooking channels, young people are encountering extremist messaging in their everyday lives. Cynthia Miller-Idriss examines the physical and virtual spaces where hate is cultivated, revealing how far-right groups are targeting vulnerable individuals and developing their cultural, intellectual, and financial capacities in mainstream settings. The process of radicalization is nuanced, involving a complex interplay between online and offline environments throughout adolescence and adulthood. Understanding the tactics and underlying ideas of modern far-right extremism is crucial for combating extremist radicalization. Miller-Idriss's book provides valuable insights into the strategies employed by far-right groups to recruit and engage young people, shedding light on the ways in which hate is being cultivated in our communities today.
