The Rage: The Vicious Circle of Islamist and Far-Right Extremism (okładka  miękka, wyd. 09.2020)

The early twenty-first century has been defined by a rise in Islamist radicalisation and a concurrent rise in far right extremism. This book explores the interaction between the `new` far right and Islamist extremists and considers the consequences for the global terror threat. Julia Ebner argues that far right and Islamist extremist narratives - `The West is at war with Islam` and `Muslims are at war with the West` - complement each other perfectly, making the two extremes rhetorical allies and building a spiralling torrent of hatred - `The Rage`. By looking at extremist movements both online and offline, she shows how far right and Islamist extremists have succeeded in penetrating each other`s echo chambers as a result of their mutually useful messages. Based on first-hand interviews, this book introduces readers to the world of reciprocal radicalisation and the hotbeds of extremism that have developed - with potentially disastrous consequences - in the UK, Europe and the US. With a new foreword, this new edition discusses the events of recent years, and how the phenomenon of reciprocal radicalisation - the interplay between Islamist and far-right extremism - has become more pronounced and, sadly, more dangerous.
