Description
The Terrorist in Search of Humanity: Militant Islam and Global Politics by Faisal Devji Faisal Devji explores the complex motivations behind modern militancy, arguing that acts of terror are driven by a desire for agency and equality. For militant groups, victimized Muslims represent humanity's centuries-long struggle for legitimacy and agency. In this thought-provoking analysis, Devji examines how militant movements have formed a global society with shared humanitarian objectives, despite lacking concrete political institutions. By understanding the underlying drivers of militancy, we can gain insight into the complexities of global politics and the pursuit of justice in the modern world. This revised edition offers a nuanced exploration of the intersections between militant ideology, global politics, and human rights.
