Extremism, society, and the state

In: Critical interventions : a forum for social analysis volume 20

"Extremism does not happen in a vacuum. Rather, extremism is a relative concept that often emerges in crisis situations, taking shape within the tense and contradictory relations that tie marginal spaces, state orders, and mainstream culture.
