Trade ReviewThe 2011 rampage killing by Anders Brevik in Norway has stimulated broad interest in scholarship focusing on the radical right. Max Taylor has brought together a group of established and younger scholars in an anthology which approaches the topic from a uniquely global perspective.
Extreme Right Wing Violence and Political Terrorismboth illuminates the changing nature of the radical right and provides a balanced analysis of the threat emanating from this milieu. This text is both timely and highly recommended. -- Jeffrey Kaplan, Book Review Editor, Terrorism and Political Violence and Associate Professor, Department of Religious Studies and Anthropology, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, US
This anthology provides a fascinating overview of the threat of right-wing terrorism and political violence in the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom. Its unique contribution is to use specific cases that illustrate the nuance of the movement’s ideology, organizational structure, targets of violence, historical milieus and local forces to place its political violence in context. It is a welcome addition for readers interested in terrorism, extremism and political violence. -- Joshua D. Freilich, Professor and Executive Officer (Director) Program of Doctoral Studies in Criminal Justice, John Jay College and The Graduate Center, The City University of New York, US
This book is intended to serve as an introduction to and conversation between five distinctively Christian approaches to social justice. Each author did a fair job presenting their position and the main chapters thus serve as a good introduction to these different approaches to social justice. The result is a highly engaging book sure to stimulate and challenge one’s Christian approach to social justice. I greatly enjoyed reading
Christian Faith and Social Justice and would recommend it -- Mike Skinner * cataclysmicblog.com *
