How, when and in what forms does religion shape violence?Beyond Faith and Fury invites readers to rethink common assumptions about the role of religion in violence. It calls for a critical approach to one of today’s most pressing issues, shaping how we view—and often misunderstand—conflict in the Middle East. Rather than taking religion’s role for granted or treating it as an isolated factor, Vostermans asks how meaning and mobilisation are constructed within broader political, social and emotional contexts.Drawing on extensive interviews and primary sources, Vostermans immerses readers in the lived experiences of militants shaped by Lebanon’s civil war, spanning Christian and Islamic militias alongside leftist and rightist movements. It brings to life the stories of the religiously motivated and the politically calculated, the mythical heroes and the unsung fighters, the steadfast militants who remained committed to their causes and those who ultimately defected.By revealing how, when and in what forms religion becomes salient in violent mobilisation—and how these dynamics compare with secular ones—the book sheds new light on the forces that create and sustain conflict. Moving beyond the reflexive pairing of faith and fury is essential to understanding conflict more clearly and identifying credible paths to peace.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

In a world marked by shifting paradigms and emergent challenges, The Routledge International Handbook on Social Exclusion and Radicalisation is a ground-breaking compilation that addresses the intricate relationship between social exclusion and radicalisation on a global scale. In response to the prevailing tendency to examine radicalisation from single-level or individualistic perspectives, this handbook takes a comprehensive approach by embedding radicalisation within the broader context of socio-political, economic, and cultural dynamics of exclusion and marginalisation. It assembles leading scholars from a variety of fields to offer a well-rounded understanding of social exclusion as a precursor to radicalisation on a global scale. Drawing from a diverse array of theoretical frameworks employing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, this handbook examines processes of radicalisation and social exclusion in the Global North and South, as well as comparative and international trends experienced worldwide.This handbook will be a comprehensive resource for researchers and policy-makers seeking to understand the dynamics of radicalisation and for crafting evidence-based strategies aimed at fostering inclusion and pluralism. It will be of interest for scholars and students interested in understanding the complex levels of radicalisation and its social contexts from fields including sociology, political science, anthropology, social psychology, criminology, and international relations.
