The Extreme Gone Mainstream: Commercialization and Far Right Youth Culture in Germany by Cynthia Miller-Idriss

5.0

As someone who studies the far-right and is about to go become a teacher in a German school, this book about how students interact with the far-right via material culture was fascinating!! This book is slightly more academic than the author’s more recent book, but likely approachable for those who enjoy nonfiction. A really interesting analysis of culture and cultural materials focusing on a niche subculture. Would recommend for those interested in German culture, the far-right generally, fashion, material culture, or qualitative & ethnographic academic research.
