The Discursive Ecology of Homophobia - Unraveling Anti-LGBTQ Speech on the European Far Right

Through an analysis of the discourse practices of populist Far Right groups in France, Italy and Belgian Flanders, this book makes a ground-breaking contribution to our understanding of the ways in which homophobic discourse functions. It also encourages us to reconsider the power given to language in our scholarship, activism and private lives.
