In September 2014, the French government entrusted Tobie Nathan
with the task of counselling radicalized young people who had been
drawn to jihadism and in this book he recounts his experiences of
some of the young people he met and counselled. He describes what
he heard, felt and perceived in his encounters with these young
people and their loved ones as he tried to understand the forces
running through them and tried to grasp what their fate held in
store for them. In so doing, he shows that the history of
radicalizations is not the history of 'natures' but of
metamorphoses - an unpredictable journey, with moments of
immobility punctuated by sudden intoxication at the thought of
other futures. It is a history of wandering souls who find
themselves unable to form a narrative of origin and in thrall to
harmful forces but who may find a way home one day. This deeply
humane and engaging book will be of great interest to everyone
concerned with the issue of radicalization and with the deep and
growing challenges our societies face in accommodating difference.
