“What would it take to ensure that everyone feels at home in the country where they live?1 This is such a simple question. And yet, to acknowledge how far we are from achieving that goal requires looking deeply at a number of assumptions in any given society. Who gets to claim membership in, or ownership of, imagined and real territories? Whose homeland is the homeland of this book’s title? Why do national spaces and places engender such defensive and racialized protectionism from so many people? Can homelands—or the spaces and places that foster them—help us better understand the rise of the far right and its move from the fringes to the mainstream?”
Cynthia Miller-Idriss, Hate in the Homeland: The New Global Far Right

“Conspiracy theories introduce new ideological frames that seem to explain people’s social worlds. Such theories position a clear line between “us” and “them” and allow a wide variety of grievances to be explained by the orchestrated efforts of an elite few, offering a way of making sense of perceived injustice and making uncertain times feel clearer and more stable.”
Cynthia Miller-Idriss, Hate in the Homeland: The New Global Far Right

“Classic conspiracism helps ordinary people make sense of a “disorderly and complicated world” by taking events that seem to defy explanation (like the 9/11 attacks or John F. Kennedy’s assassination) and framing them as the organized work of a group of powerful people.44 But the new conspiracism “dispenses with the burden of explanation,” relying on innuendo, suggestion, and repetition—with legitimation of conspiracies and accusations built through retweets, forwards, reposting, and social validation.”
