Description

Book Synopsis
Offers a contribution to theoretical debates about political - religious and nationalist - violence. This book brings together two perspectives on political violence - identification and purification. It combines these insights with a focus on urban youth culture, in which masculinity, physicality, and the performance of violence are key values.
