Zusatztext "Kimmel´s book is a true a page turner! presenting the very newest perspective on gender within extremism studies. In fact! he goes beyond extremism! masculinity and gender issues. He brings much wide cultural nuances! trajectory of EXIT foundations! economics! far-right politics! globalization and above all the effects of far-right politics which affects the very core of construction of young masculinities in the global North. This book undoubtedly opens a new chapter in the study of extremism! and it will certainly be the beginning of new issues between extremist groups and the studies of masculinity." Informationen zum Autor Michael Kimme l is one of the world’s leading experts on men and masculinities. He is the SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Stony Brook University and the author of  Manhood in America, Angry White Men, The Politics of Manhood, The Gendered Society,  and  Guyland.  With funding from the MacArthur Foundation, he founded the Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities at Stony Brook in 2013.  Klappentext " Healing from Hate  is a tough subject very much in need today. Men gravitate to haters from many sources and moving back to a normal life with respect is difficult. This excellent book explores areas that send men to hateful attitudes and groups few would realize or fewer would know how to undo. I recommend it be read by a wide audience and that we reach across dividing lines to rebuild a loving United States."— Morris Dees, co-founder and chief trial counsel for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) "In Healing from Hate , Michael Kimmel, a foremost authority on manhood, takes us into the barren emotional worlds of “failed men” as many from the ranks of the KKK, neo-Nazi’s and Jihadism, feel themselves to inhabit. Based on interviews across the world -- - the US, Canada, Sweden and Germany - - Kimmel superbly interprets the violent “brotherhoods” they later sought to escape. Highly insightful, empathic and wise, this is a must read book for our time."—Arlie Hochschild, author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Mourning and Anger on the American Right, finalist for the National Book Award " Healing from Hate presents a powerful case for integrating the gender problem into the analysis of extremism, making it an important contribution that deserves to be read. Kimmel's engaging writing style peppers this trip into the darkness with enough light that readers will be riveted to the end."—Randy Blazak, Director of the Hate Crime Research Network and Professor of Sociology at Portland State University "Extensively researched, Michael Kimmel views compelling personal stories through an academic lens to uncover the elephant in the room behind extremism – the role of gender and masculinity. Kimmel describes in detail what we as practitioners see in the field behind the ideologies of extremism and our own experiences in that dark world."—Tony McAleer, Co-Founder, Board Chair, Life After Hate "When armed conflict is overwhelmingly caused and sustained by men, you have to consider that gender – and a certain idea of masculinity -has a great deal to do with it. Scope for a broader definition of roles for both men and women is essential for our society to attain the balance it needs for peace and prosperity.”—Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women  "A crucially important book in this age of extremes, showing hope that humanity can heal its divisions through the power of empathy and forgiveness."—Deeyah Khan, Emmy and Peabody award-winning documentary filmmaker Zusammenfassung "Examine the role of gender in the radicalization of young men as they enter and exit extremist movements"--Provided by publisher.
