Author Cynthia Miller-Idriss discusses her recently published book "Hate in the Homeland: The New Global Far Right" with Jason Stanley, professor of philosophy at Yale.
Hate crimes. Misinformation and conspiracy theories. Foiled white-supremacist plots. The signs of growing far-right extremism are all around us, and communities across America and around the globe are struggling to understand how so many people are being radicalized and why they are increasingly attracted to violent movements. Our guests will discuss how tomorrow’s far-right nationalists are being recruited in surprising places, from college campuses and mixed martial arts gyms to clothing stores, online gaming chat rooms and YouTube cooking channels. They will also talk about strategies we can use to combat extremist radicalization.
