This book is a vital guide to understanding the Alt-Right - the white
nationalist, anti-feminist, far-right movement that rose to prominence
during Donald Trump's successful election campaign in the United
States. It looks at the support for this reactionary network, arguing
that while Trump is in office and the far-right grows across Europe,
we need to gain a deeper understanding of the movement's philosophy,
history and role in politics today.
While the movement appears to have burst out of nowhere, Mike Wendling
has been tracking the Alt-Right for years. He reveals the role of
technological utopians, reactionary philosophers, the notorious 4chan
and 8chan bulletin boards, and a range of bloggers, vloggers and
tweeters, along with the extreme ideas which underpin the movement's
thought.
Including exclusive interviews with members of the movement and
evidence linking extremists with terror attacks and hate crimes, it is
clear that despite its high-profile support, the movement's lack of a
coherent base and its contradictory tendencies have already started to
lead to its downfall.
