Description
Extremism: A Nuanced Introduction to Threatening Ideologies This thought-provoking introduction to extremism explains how these ideologies are constructed and escalate, offering both historical and contemporary examples. J. M. Berger provides a nuanced analysis of the extremist movements threatening civil societies worldwide. Berger identifies common structural elements among extremist movements, despite their varied ideological content. He explores case studies such as the apocalyptic jihadism of Al Qaeda and America's new "alt-right", shedding light on how these ideologies intensify a perception of "us versus them". By understanding the causes of extremism, Berger argues that we can develop more effective strategies to counter it. By examining the underlying drivers of extremist movements, this book offers valuable insights into one of the most pressing issues of our time.
