"The alt-right movement in the US has actively been endorsing the use of left theory to achieve its ends-and with varying degrees of success. This book asks if the alt-right's reference of left theory is just bad reading, or are there troubling ways that certain types of left theory encourage such interpretations? Are there lessons to be learned in what can often appear as an overlapping desire to deconstruct concepts like truth, justice, freedom and democracy? Drawing on the longer history of right-wing readings of left theory, this volume seeks to unpack these recent developments and consider their impact on the future of theory"-- Provided by publisher.
