Recenzii
"Moving Beyond Islamist Extremism: Assessing Counter Narrative Responses to the Global Violent Far Right highlights the urgency with which we must turn our attention to the emergent fifth wave of far-right terrorism. Daringly, Allchorn takes the leap not only in identifying gaps in countering violent extremism but also in proposing specific counter narratives tailored to each individual context, taking into account the historical, social, and political elements at play. He does not shy away from engaging with troublesome areas of study, such as misogynist and victimhood narratives, to make practical and realistic recommendations. While many books on the far right are problem-centric, this contribution also offers timely solutions, using examples and forecasting short- and long-term effects. The emphasis on democratic values and processes is a compelling exhibit on the reality of countering violent extremism and how it may be achieved by the celebration of the diverse, united, and historically complex nation rather than with the restriction of liberties. Written in an accessible style, Moving Beyond Extremism provides the reader with an easy-to-follow roadmap on the importance of far-right narratives, how they manifest in certain geographic and online ecosystems, and how they may be countered. Allchorn effectively bridges the divide between academia and practice producing a resource which will be of value to counter terrorism practitioners, policy makers, and scholars for years to come." Arie Perliger, Professor of Criminology, University of Massachusetts Lowell
"An extremely helpful addition to the current literature on extremism, and especially far-right extremism. William Allchorn has been involved in initiatives to look at the power of counter narrative techniques to dissuade and undermine the far right. We desperately need to develop and implement techniques that allow us to minimize the threat of the far right, and counter narrative techniques provide one important strategy that has been proven to work. The book discusses this option and what worksand what does not." Dr Paul Spoonley, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Massey University New Zealand
"Moving beyond Islamist Extremism: Assessing Counter Narrative Responses to the Global Far Right is a must-read text to scholars and practitioners who desire to enhance their proficiency in the current landscape of the violent far right as well as with one of the essential tools available for law enforcement and policy agencies to counter its expansion, that of counter narratives. The book proves to be an important resource on the possibilities of non-violent measures for improving security." Dr Kristy Campion, Assistant Professor of Terrorism Studies, Charles Sturt University, Australia
