From Paris to San Bernardino, Barcelona to Manchester, home-grown
terrorism is among the most urgent challenges confronting Western
nations. Attempts to understand jihadism have typically treated it
as a form of political violence or religious conflict. However, the
closer we get to the actual people involved in radicalization, the
more problematic these explanations become. In this fascinating
book, Kevin McDonald shows that the term radicalization unifies
what are in fact very different experiences. These new violent
actors, whether they travelled to Syria or killed at home, range
from former drug dealers and gang members to students and
professionals, mothers with young children and schoolgirls. This
innovative book sets out to explore radicalization not as something
done to people but as something produced by active participants,
attempting to make sense of themselves and their world. In doing
so, McDonald offers powerful portraits of the immersive worlds of
social media so fundamental to present-day radicalization.
Radicalization offers a bold new way of understanding the
contemporary allure of jihad and, in the process, important
directions in responding to it.
