      abstract = {This book analyzes key popular culture artifacts linked  with United States far-right extremism to illustrate how  extremists use various narrative strategies to legitimate  their interests and goals and to justify violent actions.  Recognizing these narrative strategies and how they are  used partly explains the back and forth moves between  mainstream politics and the far-right of ideas and issues  that used to remain within far-right circles. The main  objective of this book is to utilize theoretical approaches  that centralize processes of racialization to analyze and  explain how far-right extremists utilize recognizable  narratives to mainstream and communicate their ideas. The  book will illustrate processes by which racialized subjects  are produced and violence justified. In order to do so, the  book concentrates on popular culture as sources of how the  far-right constitutes their identities and goals. It first  develops a methodological plan to study popular culture  artifacts that is drawn from scholarship on race and  discourse analysis in International Relations (IR). It then  analyzes far-right use of key popular culture artifacts,  such as magazines, memes, and manifestos, to note how  extremist identities and interests are produced, publicly  communicated, and mainstreamed. This will contribute to  Security Studies and IRs understanding of far-right  extremism, especially how they utilize similar narrative  strategies as used in mainstream contexts to justify their  calls for violence.
