Additional Book Details

<p>In light of the recent global resurgence of radical and populist right-wing parties, this book examines hostile and anti-immigration rhetoric in Europe. Topical and timely, it deftly guides the reader through the trajectories of radical right parties and contextualises discriminatory rhetoric in wider immigration and integration politics.</p> <p>Grounded in a focussed, comparative critical discourse study that draws on methods from social science and linguistics, the book:</p> Presents a study of political rhetoric on migration in several European countries over the past thirty-five years, drawing out similarities and differences. Explores anti-immigration rhetoric before and after the 2015 refugee/solidarity crisis. Illuminates the role of so-called ‘mainstream’ parties in developing and legitimising discriminatory rhetoric. <p>Exposing the insidious nature of malevolent political rhetoric and its consequences, this book is a timely and essential read.</p>
