"Since the 1980s, one of the main political changes in Western Europe has been the electoral upsurge of extreme right-wing parties such as the French FN, the Flemish Vlaams Blok or the Austrian FPO. However, while the electoral support of these movements has been studied extensively, their active members have largely been ignored. Extreme Right Activists in Europe redresses this imbalance by examining 'extreme right-wing activists'."

"Countries examined in this book include Italy, France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. Drawing upon extensive research (life history interviews, observations, archival studies), and featuring contributions from distinguished and world-renowned social psychologists and political scientists, this book provides the most detailed comparative study yet published of the psychology of extremist right-wing activists. This book is essential reading for students and academics with interests in right-wing extremism, social movements and European politics."--BOOK JACKET.
