Extremism and Radicalization in the Manosphere: Beta Uprising [Paperback]

This book presents an analysis of the male supremacist ideology of the Internet-based subculture known as the manosphere and examines the process of radicalization to violent extremism that occurs within the group.?This book will be of interest to scholars and students in criminology, sociology, and political science.

Deniese Kennedy-Kollar earned her PhD in Criminal Justice in 2008 from the City University of New York Graduate Center. She also holds an MA in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY) and a BA in Psychology from the State University of New York Stonybrook. She is an Associate Professor at Molloy University in Rockville Centre, NY and has previously published work on the influence of masculine identity crises on mass murder.????

In this outstanding and refreshing book, Dr. Deniese Kennedy-Kollar studies how men are drawn to radicalization through an online subculture based on a perverted view of manhood rooted in male supremacy. Her thesis fits well with our modern society that aims at equality for women and meritocracy. Our ideals and hopes are such that anyone can and should become who they want based on their potential, drive, and work. This threatens the subculture of male supremacists. Her theme is outlined in a fascinating book that uses key examples clearly demonstrating the accuracy of her work. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand this radicalization process. This is a must read for students of criminal justice/criminology, law enforcement, politicians, policy makers, and many others.
