This book explores men's attraction to violent extremist movements
and terrorism. Drawing on multi-method, interdisciplinary research,
this book explores the centrality of masculinity to violent
extremist recruitment narratives across the religious and political
spectrum. Chapters examine the intersection of masculinity and
violent extremism across a spectrum of movements including: the far
right, Islamist organizations, male supremacist groups, and the far
left. The book identifies key sites and points at which the
construction of masculinity intersects with, stands in contrast to
and challenges extremist representations of masculinity. It offers
an insight into where the potential appeal of extremist narratives
can be challenged most effectively and identifies areas for both
policy making and future research.

variety of countries and settings. Through the cross-disciplinary
examination of these varied efforts, this work will enable

implement programs and strategies which involve men and boys in
initiatives to prevent violence against women.
