ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book describes the aspects well, reporting direct experiences in which the management of distance and her position in research fieldwork involved complex, thoughtful and even emotional work on the relationship built with the English Defence League activists. It discusses the White Power Movement in the United States; due to the fact that, in the opinion held among both academics and non-academics, it is assumed that one must necessarily share the stance and world-view of one's research object. The book utilizes a feminist and gender-focused perspective to study female participation in conservative movements in Japan. It analyzes Internet-based far-right movements in Thailand through the study of vigilante groups operating on Facebook, as well as questioning the ethical issues raised by reporting comments or statements without the consent of the author and around what is or is not "public" on a social network.
