Extreme Britain: Gender, Masculinity and Radicalization [Hardcover]

Drawing on interviews with extremists, this timely study explores the relationship between gendered culture and political radicalism using Britain as a case study. In this fascinating study, Pearson presents nearly a decade?s worth of research into Britain?s radical right. . . . Since her findings rely on interviews with extremists, Pearson must also address the ethical difficulties arising from quoting these harmful ideologies in print. This results in an interesting methodological discussion, which contrasts presence of empathy, understanding, and condemnation in her interview experiences. --Security WomenList of AbbreviationsList of FiguresIntroductionChapter One Theory: Masculinities and ExtremismChapter Two Methodology: Is it OK to Talk to Extremists?Chapter Three Situating Masculinities: the Radical RightChapter Four Mobilizing Masculinities: the Radical RightChapter Five Misogyny, Masculinities and Women in the Radical RightChapter Six Situating Masculinities: ALMChapter Seven Mobilizing Masculinities: ALMChapter Eight ConclusionsAppendixBibliographyIndexElizabeth Pearson PhD, formerly a BBC radio journalist, is program lead for the MSc in Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London, and an associate fellow with the Royal United Services Institute and the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism.
