This is an introduction to the Open Library of Humanities Special Collection ‘Right-Wing Populism and Mediated Activism: Creative Responses and Counter-Narratives’.

It provides a summary of the contributing articles which demonstrate the digital practices of the far right and the strategies of actors in challenging hate speech. The introduction also elaborates on the structure of the Special Collection.
