Reviews

In this colossal collection of critical theory and analyses, Christian Fuchs shows off his brilliant expertise by integrating Marxist theories of fascism with its digital articulations across a range of online discourses. His exemplary detailed elaboration of pertinent conceptual roots is complemented by several empirical case studies including digital discourses of remembering Hitler on Twitter, anti-Corbyn campaign online, and Trumpian discourses of racism, nationalism, and fascism. In its data analysis, Fuchs makes excellent use of insights from Critical Discourse Studies and provides articulate and compelling contextualisation of the findings. Majid KhosraviNik, Senior Lecturer in Digital Media & Discourse Studies at Newcastle University
