This book is the first systematic, multicountry exploration of far-right Newspeak.

The contributors analyze the ways in which contemporary far-right politicians, intellectuals, and pundits use and abuse traditional liberal concepts and ideas to justify positions that threaten democratic institutions and liberal principles. They explore cases of both far-right and right-wing thought in eastern and western Europe, the United States, and Canada. Subjects include well-known figures, such as Marine Le Pen, Tucker Carlson, Peter Thiel, Nick Griffin, Thierry Baudet, Jordan Peterson, Russell Brand, and Viktor Orbįn, and lesser-known names, such as the Czech politician Tomio Okamura and the Internet personality "Raw Egg Nationalist." The contributors examine these figures claims about hot-button issues, including immigration, Islam, race, Covid-19 policies, feminism, monetary policy, and free speech. The book demonstrates that mainstream politicians and intellectuals are at risk of losing control over the definitions of the very concepts, including equal rights, racial and ethnic diversity, and political tolerance, that undergird their vision of liberal democracy.

It will be of interest to scholars, journalists, policymakers, political scientists, historians, political theorists, sociologists, and general audiences concerned about the sophisticated efforts of far-right and right-wing politicians and pundits to undermine the foundations of liberal democracy.

Recenzijos

This volume tackles an incredibly important issue that has been so far understudied: the way far-right movements appropriate the language of liberalism. The authors offer us a series of vivid examples of how the semantics of freedom and rights can be instrumentalized by forces promoting exclusionary policies. They also invite us to question the loss of meaning associated with illiberal Newspeak. A must-read for everyone interested in understanding the challenges of liberalism today.

Marlene Laruelle, Director, Illiberalism Studies Program, The George Washington University, USA; Editor, Illiberalism.org

It is easy to assume that the language of freedom, equality, individual and collective rights, and pluralism belongs inextricably to liberal and leftist egalitarians. This assumption has been very much put in question by the strategic rhetoric deployed by a range of right-wing (including radical-right) theoreticians and political actors in many different societies today. The aim of this instructive and important book by A. James McAdams and Samuel Piccolo, and their collaborators, is to warn us of the serious perils we face when concepts intended to promote progress, enlightenment, and justice are hijacked in order to serve opposing ideological purposes.

Ronald Beiner, author of Dangerous Minds: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Return of the Far Right

"One of the biggest questions of our time is how democracies globally will be challenged by the rise of conservative nationalists who are savvy with communications and messaging. After covering the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, I am highly aware of the power of words to influence voters. This book provides a vivid roadmap for understanding these forces, taking readers far beyond the headlines and delving into analysis and research that offers important perspectives."

Robert Costa, CBS News chief election & campaign correspondent; co-author of the # 1 New York Times bestseller Peril

This fascinating volume traces how far-right politicians, intellectuals, and opinion-makers use the language of democracy to hollow out basic liberal principles and institutionsand how this form of Newspeak can divide societies in the name of protecting them. The chapters are provocative, controversial, and always engaging. Importantly, the authors analyze the concept of the far-right itself, and assess its boundaries and analytical utility. An invaluable guide for all scholars and supporters of liberal democracy.
