This academic presentation by Dr. Sabita Manian, titled “Within and Without the Veil,” explores the resurgence of Far-Right Neo-Nationalism in Europe and North America, and its connections to the war in Ukraine. Dr. Manian draws from W.E.B. Du Bois’ concept of the "veil" to examine the intersection of domestic and international politics, the challenges to democracy, and the impact of symmetrical and asymmetrical warfare on liberal values. Key points include the role of mainstream media in highlighting the rise of far-right politics, the influence of hate forums and conspiracy theories in undermining democracies, and Putin’s destabilizing actions in Ukraine.
