Rezensionen

"Right-wing extremism is taking new and often surprising forms across the globe. CasaPound Italia is a brilliant exposition of how extremists can penetrate into the practices of daily life. A must-read for scholars, activists, and all those concerned about the spread of far-right ideas into contemporary politics." - Kathleen Blee, University of Pittsburgh, USA

"While scholars of contentious politics have mainly focused on progressive social movements, this in-depth analysis brilliantly applies the main concepts and hypotheses developed in that field of studies to the mobilization and communication of the extreme right in Italy. Based on very rich empirical material, the research points at how the adoption of a hybridization strategy allowed the ideas of Casa Pound Italia into the political mainstream." - Donatella Della Porta, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy



"How does a relatively small far right group, with little electoral support, attract international media attention and influence national politics? This book does not only provide the first systematic analysis of a prime example of such a group, CasaPound Italia, it also introduces a theoretical framework that can help us understand disproportionate successes of other (far right) groups." - Cas Mudde, University of Georgia

"Based on a historical and ethnographic approach, this book captures the essence of Casa Pound Italia: hybridization. Unique mix of party politics and street protest, ideology and pop culture, left-progressiveness and nativism, CPI makes fascism entertaining and attractive, way beyond the traditional extreme right circles. A must-read." - Nonna Mayer, Sciences Po, CEE, CNRS, France
