- Summary:
- This book offers a comprehensive analysis of radical right youth activism in Brazil and Germany, examining the complex pathways of political engagement through innovative biographical and narrative research. By exploring the tensions between democratic and anti-democratic practices, the study reveals how young activists navigate political landscapes, uncovering the intricate relationships between conservative discourses, neoliberalism, and political identity formation. Drawing on political psychology and post-structuralist approaches, the author challenges traditional interpretations of youth political participation. Combining in-depth interviews and comparative analysis, the book sheds light on the motivations, discourses, and mechanisms that have driven and sustained their engagement. By offering a comparative perspective, it reveals both the specific national dynamics and the transnational patterns that characterize radical right youth activism today. Youth Activism in the Radical Right of Brazil and Germany: On the Thresholds of Politics is essential for scholars of psychology, politics and sociology, as well as for students and policymakers seeking to understand the growing youth engagement in radical right-wing movements and its challenges for contemporary democracy.. The original manuscript of this book was written in Brazilian Portuguese and translated into English with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. .
