The Rage

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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 narrativesβ€”"The West is at war with Islam" and "Muslims are at war with the West"β€”complement each other perfectly, making the two extremes rhetorical allies and building a spiralling torrent of hatredβ€”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 developedβ€”with potentially disastrous consequencesβ€”in the UK, Europe, and the US.
