The new center?
New anthology on the ideology and practice of the populist and extreme right published.
Together with Dr. Steven Schäller and Dr. Johannes Schütz from TU Dresden, Prof. Dr. Raj Kollmorgen recently published an anthology "Die neue Mitte?" on the ideology and practice of the populist and extreme right with Böhlau Verlag.
The anthology analyzes the diverse actors and forms of action of new-right movements. With a combination of academic essays, discussion contributions and practical reports, the volume highlights the specific characteristics of the new right-wing ideologies and movements. Four perspectives are developed: Firstly, the contributions deal with the ideological foundations of the new right, namely radical right and right-wing populist actors; secondly, the social contexts come into view; thirdly, radical right milieus, actors and (counter) strategies are examined; and fourthly, the function and significance of communicative processes and orientations are explored.
"The New Center?" is not just an anthology for academics, but for anyone interested in politics and engaged in this field. Those who read it will not only gain a good understanding of the origins of right-wing extremism and right-wing populism, the forms they take today, and what extremism and populism have in common (but also what sets them apart). Rather, readers will also be introduced to the lived experiences and everyday problems of the supporters of these ideologies and movements, as well as familiarized with the challenges and opportunities of democratic education, politics, and civil society that resist them. Readers can learn how democrats—even in rural areas—can successfully act against right-wing extremism and right-wing populism." Professor Raj Kollmorgen
