Vieten and Poynting contextualize some of the past and present processes of normalisation with respect to gender toxicology, authoritarianism, and racisms and explore ambitiously the banality of everyday racisms and the trans-nationalising dynamics before and beyond the pandemic. As they argue the digital tools of the 21st century push further and rapidly the global far right to the centre of capitalist societies. The book illustrates the political urgency of unwrapping normalising tendencies and the global links of the mushrooming far-right.
