zasobel's review against another edition
4.0
3.5/5. A good read if you want a primer on fascism's evolution from Hitler to Christchurch, or a better understanding of the aims of modern fascism. However, it was shorter than I expected and I wish it had explored the culture of online fascists more deeply, viz. the language, memes, personality types, etc.

Succinct introduction to online fascism. Surprisingly nuanced. I wish this book wasn’t necessary.

scribepub's review against another edition
This short but incisive book builds to a stirring and well-argued conclusion ... What Sparrow does so eloquently ... is overtly link fascism, historically and theoretically, with political violence. b>FOUR STARS
Kelsey Oldham, Books + Publishing
With conceptual clarity and meticulous research, Jeff Sparrow has produced an indispensable guidebook to the intellectual and political sewers from which the Christchurch mass murderer emerged. Sparrow understands the role social media has played in the rebirth of fascism. He also understands that ideas matter.
Robert Manne, emeritus professor of politics and vice-chancellor's fellow at La Trobe University
Part history lesson, part detective story, part deep-dive into an online swamp, Fascists Among Us is essential reading for anyone who wants to take a stand against hate.
Scott Ludlam
Jeff Sparrow charts the ideological underpinnings of fascism with uncommon clarity, demonstrating the importance of confronting the truth rather than retreating from its horrors. Read. This. Book.
Sisonke Msimang
Lit with insight and urgency. Read it, just read it.
Chloe Hooper
Sparrow’s analysis is poignant and confronting, yet avoids being voyeuristic or disrespectful.

This is succinct, steady writing, well-informed and organised. With the advantage of having recently completed a book on the rise of the right (Trigger Warnings), Sparrow has managed to deal with the problems associated with writing about such a sensationally awful event.

Ellen Muller, ArtsHub
[A]rgues that we need more information, rather than information blackouts, in response to fascist terrorism … He shows how and where fellow fascists form shadowy internet communities to foment violence against immigrants and minorities and spur dialogue on the “Optics War,” “ecofascism,” and “accelerationism” … Sparrow convincingly argues that the more we understand about the last terrorist, the better we can prevent the next one.
