Radicalization

In this thoroughly researched audiobook, Farhad Khosrokhavar explores the complex pathways to radicalization, emphasizing the critical role of prisons and social disenfranchisement. Drawing on interviews and a broad perspective that spans Europe and the U.S., he examines how social breakdowns, mass incarceration, and unemployment contribute to disaffected communities vulnerable to radical ideologies. Khosrokhavar challenges common security-focused responses, suggesting that deeper societal issues, rather than specific doctrines, are at the root of homegrown terrorism.
