INFILTRATING, interviewing and researching a whole range of groups such as religious fundamentalists, conspiracy theorists and white supremacists, Julia Ebner’s journey through the often hidden world of “fringe” politics is in many respects useful and informative.
A somewhat provocative work, it provides much food for thought. Consider, for example, how most socialist groups seek to attract, recruit and involve people. With some honourable exceptions, most leftist literature is dull, worthy and ideologically dense and few groups are able even to maintain a website that is in any way attractive.
