Abstract

The editor Urusla Birsl counters the widespread gender blindness within Federal German research on right-wing extremism with an anthology in which she combines previously fragmented results of feminist research, critical masculinity research, and gender-conscious practice. Moreover, the anthology highlights areas that require further research and emphasizes the importance of the category gender. According to the general tenor, right-wing extremist phenomena remain only partly analyzable if the category gender is not included consistently. This opens up ample perspectives on gender constructions, initiation processes, and recruitment potentials.
