Collective Emotions and Political Violence: Nar. Clement**

Manchester University Press

Explore the complex transition from moderate politics to extremism with 'Collective Emotions and Political Violence' by Maéva Clément. This insightful book examines how collective actors legitimize radical change to maintain member commitment, offering a unique perspective on political violence. Drawing on extensive research of Islamist organizations in the UK and Germany, Clément introduces a transdisciplinary theoretical framework and innovative methodological approach. The study argues that for political violence to be embraced, it must 'feel right' on a collective level. Discover how organizations mediate this shift through narrative and the performance of collective emotions, challenging conventional interpretations of radicalization and highlighting the profound influence of emotions. This hardcover edition provides a provocative and nuanced account of a critical social phenomenon.
