Abstract Researchers interested in expanding our understanding about individuals, who are silenced by majority societies or those who willingly position themselves close to condemned standpoints, need to also think about ways of approaching and encouraging potential research participants. The current paper frames that need as an act of curiosity and an ethical responsibility. With that framing in hand, the paper explains the process of overcoming difficulties related to recruiting radicalized subpopulations of youngsters (154 self-identified Muslim youth with migration backgrounds and 153 native youth who support movements labeled as far right) in a transnational qualitative research conducted in four different countries (Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands) in 2020–2022. Because both groups are subject to the labels imposed on them by the majority societies (e.g., Muslim, Salafi, conservative, fascist, right wing, etc.), the researchers felt the need to be flexible in the ways they address and approach each participant. In the field, the purposeful efforts of recruitment wording for each individual appeared very useful in encouraging this by nature skeptical group of people. The current paper documents the development of this flexible strategy, which I hope will be useful to many qualitative researchers to facilitate their data collection efforts to identify and reach youth that is on the path of radicalization. We would like to encourage academics to stay curious about these two subpopulations of youth and other marginalized, singled out, and stigmatized groups, and consider interviewing as many individuals as possible in order to discover the radicals .

Con l'avvento del Rinascimento il mondo occidentale conobbe profonde trasformazioni: uscita dalle tenebre e dalle superstizioni medievali, la società dei primi anni del Cinquecento poté godere di maggiore libertà espressiva. L'atmosfera che si respirava in quel periodo favorì l'esaltazione delle capacità dell'uomo e un importante risveglio culturale. Tutti parteciparono al cambiamento, comprese le donne. Per la prima volta diverse figure femminili si approcciarono all'arte, alla poesia, alla religione e alla politica, lasciando un segno indelebile nella storia. In Italia, proprio all'inizio del Cinquecento, si distinse Vittoria Colonna (Marino 1490 – Roma 1547), nobildonna appartenente ad una delle famiglie più influenti della penisola, capace di unire insieme qualità morali e intellettuali. Sebbene sia un personaggio poco studiato e non sia conosciuta come altri artisti, scrittori o politici della sua epoca, Vittoria Colonna, moglie di Francesco Ferrante d'Avalos, Marchese di Pescara, era apprezzata per le sue capacità in campo letterario, per le sue influenze in ambito politico e per le sue virtù morali. La giovane Marchesa divenne presto un punto di riferimento per la sua famiglia nella gestione del patrimonio e un modello per molte donne che si affacciavano per la prima volta alla letteratura e all'attività politica. Sin dal suo ingresso in società, in seguito alle nozze e al suo trasferimento nel castello di Ischia, Colonna seppe farsi valere fra umanisti, uomini di potere e membri delle gerarchie ecclesiastiche, dando il suo contributo alla storia e alla letteratura italiana. All'interno di questo elaborato ho voluto rappresentare tutte le sfaccettature della nobildonna e sottolineare la sua unicità su più fronti. Infatti Vittoria Colonna incarnò l'atmosfera dei primi anni del Cinquecento non soltanto in quanto donna scrittrice, ma anche come figura chiave nella promozione di personaggi carismatici, intellettuali o religiosi, e per la sua caparbietà in ambito politico.

"This book analyses the factors and processes behind radicalization of both native and self-identified Muslim youths. It argues that European youth respond differently to the challenges posed by contemporary flows of globalization such as deindustrialization, socio-economic, political, spatial and psychological forms of deprivation, humiliation, and structural exclusion. The book revisits social, economic, political, and psychological drivers of radicalization, and challenges contemporary uses of the term 'radicalism'. It argues that neoliberal forms of governance are often responsible for associating radicalism with extremism, terrorism, fundamentalism, and violence. It will appeal to students and scholars of migration, minority studies, nationalisms, European studies, sociology, political science, and psychology"--
