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.

Exploring how the boundary between the extremist far right and centre-right parties and politics became blurred, Normalization of the Global Far Right: Pandemic Disruption deconstructs one of the most pressing issues of today: the rise of the far right. Taking a critical look at the ‘normalisation’ of far-right thinking underpinned by gendered racisms, Vieten and Poynting trace the emergence of transnational far right populist movements and how these have been shaped by European colonialism, white supremacy, and ideological legacies of the Empire alike.
