Hate crimes, misinformation, and conspiracy theories are just a few of the alarming signs of growing far-right extremism that are all around us. Communities across America and around the globe are struggling to understand how so many people are being radicalized and why they are increasingly attracted to violent movements.
In her book, Hate in the Homeland, Cynthia Miller-Idriss takes a startling look at the unexpected places where violent hate groups recruit young people. Instead of focusing on the how and why of far-right radicalization, Miller-Idriss seeks answers in the physical and virtual spaces where hate is cultivated.
Where does the far right do its recruiting? When do young people encounter extremist messaging in their everyday lives? Miller-Idriss shows how far-right groups are swelling their ranks and developing their cultural, intellectual, and financial capacities in a variety of mainstream settings. She demonstrates how young people on the margins of our communities are targeted in these settings, and how the path to radicalization is a nuanced process of moving in and out of far-right scenes throughout adolescence and adulthood.
Hate in the Homeland is essential for understanding the tactics and underlying ideas of modern far-right extremism. This eye-opening book takes readers into the mainstream places and spaces where today's far right is engaging and ensnaring young people, and reveals innovative strategies we can use to combat extremist radicalization.
