Abstract

"The Rise of Ecofascism: Climate Change and the Far Right" explores the connection between climate change and far-right ideologies. The book highlights how the far right has used the climate crisis to promote racism and anti-immigration rhetoric. It also examines the historical intersections between far-right ideologies and ecological politics, from colonial practices to Nazi Germany's claims of resource scarcity. The authors analyze how these ideas permeate contemporary society, particularly in authoritarian states and online movements. The book concludes with a call to oppose ecologies of domination with ecologies of liberation and emphasizes the importance of climate justice and solidarity. [Extracted from the article]
