An Encounter with Hate: Youth-Cultural Right-Wing Extremists
Keywords:
Right-Wing Extremism; Anti-Indigenous Racism; Education
Abstract
The proliferation of intolerant and extremist views includes social media sites that have a far reach for prospective audiences. The focus of the larger research study under discussion is on the anti-Indigenous racism that prevails in Right-Wing Extremist social media communications that appeal to some youth. Youth Cultural Right-Wing Extremist groups use the internet (and the technology associated with social media) as a medium to spread these extremist ideologies. Schools serve as ideal locations to proliferate hateful messages and recruit other students. This paper draws upon poetic inquiry to best describe the researcher’s experiences with the phenomenon under investigation and, in turn, encourage readers to position themselves in the space of the experience.
