Book review: Islamist radicalisation in Europe and the Middle East: reassessing the causes of terrorism

Are today’s radicals tomorrow’s extremists? Most analyses of violence emanating from the Middle East or from Europe’s Muslim communities tend to assume that this is the case. This edited collection seeks to look beyond assumptions about violence in the Middle East through an examination of specific contexts of radicalism and by asking how conditions for radicalisation are created. Kenneth Martin concludes that the book offers new and engaging findings for all readers.
