Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates the development and efficacy of counterradicalization policies in Britain and America, questioning how these frameworks interact with citizenship and political community. Sarah Logan utilizes a combination of historical analysis and political theory to evaluate how states respond to the threat of homegrown extremism. By examining legislative measures and policy shifts, the author argues that these strategies are deeply embedded in broader societal concepts of belonging and transnational identity.
