How to Talk to Your Son about Fascism

<p><i>How to Talk to Your Son about Fascism </i>is a practical guide for parents, carers, and others with young men in their lives on how to talk with those young men about fascism and the right-wing, which specifically and particularly preys on them for recruitment.</p><p>Its central goal is to present research, history, and analysis about how and why the right-wing recruits young men to parents, educators, and anyone with a young person in their lives. The book covers the history of right-wing recruitment of young men, explaining why the right-wing focuses on recruiting men both on a theoretical basis and through the logic of movement-building, and then moves to practical analysis and suggestions for how to counter recruitment today. Recommendations come from excerpts and existing scholarship. Readers will come out of the book with a better understanding of what fascism is and how it works, how it preys on young men, how it recruits and appeals to them, and how to stop this from happening.</p><p>This book will be of interest to antifascist researchers and activists, as well as parents, carers, and the general reader concerned about the rise of the extreme right.</p>
