Beskrivning

Exposes how white supremacist groups exploit digital platforms to radicalize individualsManifesting Violence: White Terrorism, Digital Culture, and the Rhetoric of Replacement by Casey Ryan Kelly and William Joseph Sipe is a compelling exploration of how the digital world has become a fertile ground for white supremacist ideology. Through an in-depth analysis of white supremacist manifestos, online rhetoric, and the myth of “white genocide,” Kelly and Sipe uncover the disturbing ways in which digital culture facilitates the spread of racist ideology and the radicalization of individuals. By examining the language of white nationalism—calls to defend the white race, family, and children—Kelly and Sipe reveal how these messages, often disguised as entertainment or humor, gradually transform passive consumers into active participants in a dangerous ideology. Manifesting Violence sheds light on the alarming shift from organized white supremacist groups to a decentralized digital arena where hate speech is disguised as humor and online conversations foster a culture of violence. Kelly and Sipe’s thorough investigation of this growing digital ecosystem offers a chilling glimpse into the dark underbelly of online extremism. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the growing threat of hate-motivated violence and the urgent need to address its roots in digital culture, Kelly and Sipe offer rich insights to readers, researchers, academics, and policymakers concerned about extremism, online radicalization, and white supremacy.

Recensioner i media

"Manifesting Violence is a fascinating and provocative book. Fortunately, the authors clearly demonstrate their expertise and their ability to bring light to subject matter that too often produces only heat." —Ryan Skinnell, coeditor of Rhetoric and Guns "Kelly and Sipe’s incisive account of far-right 'white replacement' rhetoric traces terrorist manifestos' jeremiadic and memetic qualities to chilling effect. Essential reading for the digital age, this volume explains how white supremacy normalizes fantasies of racial retribution, merges pseudoscience with environmentalism, spreads through “copypasta,” and anticipates future cycles of violence." —Atilla Hallsby, author of "A Copious Void: Rhetoric as Artificial Intelligence 1.0," Rhetoric Society Quarterly. (Open Access)"Kelly and Sipe provide an innovative and nuanced reading of white supremacist discourses, particularly as they circulate in the digital milieu. The book is very accessible and easy to follow, even when working with complex concepts . . . each chapter is well focused and structured." —Billie Murray, author of Combating Hate: A Framework for Direct Action
