Unearthing the most primal motivations behind the fear politics
movements sweeping across the USA, Europe, and the Middle East,
Stevan E. Hobfoll examines how the increasing sense of threat from
the political and cultural "other" or "outsider" engenders an
evolutionary, built-in "defend and aggress" response. This
deep-wired evolutionary response is a defining aspect of our tribal
origins and has allowed for the rise of propaganda, extremist
politics, and-in turn-violence. In this timely work, which binds
theories in psychology, sociology, evolution, biology, linguistics,
iconography, rhetoric, and religion, Hobfoll explores the tribalist
roots of radical militant Islam, violence against women, white
supremacy, the rise of authoritarian leaders, and an increasingly
polarized and uncompromising political landscape. Grounded in
evolutionary psychological research, Hobfoll's long term study of
stress, and in conversation with contemporary academic literature,
Tribalism not only offers an explanation for society's worst
impulses, but also points us towards the best protections against
tribalism and other evolutionary traps.
