Providing much-needed clarity on the relationship between the mainstream and far right, and offering a conceptual framework for mainstreaming, Katy Brown delves deeper into the specific role played by mainstream political discourse in normalising far-right ideas.\u003cbr\u003eTaking the Brexit referendum campaign as a case study, Brown illustrates how mainstream actors may seek to outwardly distance themselves from the far right, yet the number of shared discourses between them underscores the dangers of taking this claim at face value. By examining the overlap across a range of areas, including colonial nostalgia\/amnesia, racism, masculinity and populism, this work emphasises the need to centralise the role of the mainstream in normalising far-right discourse: putting the mainstream in mainstreaming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a e.g. CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
