Propaganda is not some distant spectacle \u2013 it takes place right here amongst us. More subtly than posters and slogans, it shapes language, the media and public debates \u2013 from Europe to China, from Russian narratives to populist strategies in Western politics. At the heart of this book is the current shift to the right in Europe: how do language and perception change as populist rhetoric seeps ever deeper into everyday consciousness? How do actors use manipulative narratives to secure political power \u2013 and who benefits from this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A Handbook of Propaganda<\/em> turns education into a craft \u2013 both literally and figuratively. Every page of this hand-drawn book takes a stand against automated troll factories and the linguistic erosion of democratic values.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Irina Rastorgueva<\/strong>, born in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in 1983, studied philology at Sakhalin State University and worked as a cultural journalist for several Russian magazines and radio stations.
