These technologies - including other social media, discussion websites, certain online games, chat servers, talk radio, cable news, and print media - are making contemporary far-right ideologies possible in diverse ways, altering methods of recruitment to the extent that they become unrecognizable from far-right movements of the past, and thus, more dangerous. \u003cbr\u003eThe results of these new technological processes can be seen in the increasing normalization of far-right values within mainstream culture, politics, and media ecosystems within countries from the United States, Britain, Australia, Germany, and Hungary. \u003cbr\u003eThis book brings together recent academic research exploring how far-right groups use new media to recruit followers to extremist beliefs and mobilize political action. In doing so, the book reveals the complex ways that evolving technologies are used both purposively, subtly, and in some cases incidentally, to recruit and mobilize far-right support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelody Devries is a PhD Candidate in the Communication and Culture Department at Ryerson University, Canada.\u003cbr\u003eJudith Bessant is Professor at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia and an Adjunct Professor at the School of Justice, QUT, Australia.\u003cbr\u003eRob Watts is Professor of Social Policy at RMIT University, Melbourne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 292\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 11, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50355464208621,"sku":"9781538158906","price":77.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/svw8QKlXSX9781538158906.webp?v=1785324198","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/rise-of-the-far-right-technologies-of-recruitment-and-mobilization-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
