HATE IN THE HOMELAND - CYNTHIA MILLER-IDRISS KA...

A startling look at the unexpected places where violent hate groups recruit young people Hate
crimes. Misinformation and conspiracy theories. Foiled white-supremacist plots. The signs of
growing far-right extremism are all around us  and 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. Hate in the Homeland shows how tomorrow's
far-right nationalists are being recruited in surprising places  from college campuses and
mixed martial arts gyms to clothing stores  online gaming chat rooms  and YouTube cooking
channels. Instead of focusing on the how and why of far-right radicalization  Cynthia
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.
