{"product_id":"anders-breivik-and-the-rise-sindre-bangstad-9781783600083","title":"Anders Breivik and the Rise of Islamophobia","description":"In late July 2011, Norway was struck by the worst terror attacks in its history. In a fertilizer-bomb attack on Government Headquarters in Oslo and a one-hour-long shooting spree at the Labour Party Youth Camp at Ut ya, seventy-seven people, mostly teenagers, were killed by Anders Behring Breivik. By targeting young future social democratic leaders, his actions were meant to lead to the downfall of Europe's purportedly multiculturalist elites, thus removing an obstacle to his plans for an ethnic cleansing of Muslims from Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this highly original work, leading Norwegian social anthropologist Sindre Bangstad reveals how Breivik's beliefs were not simply the result of a deranged mind, but rather they are the result of the political mainstreaming of pernicious racist and Islamophobic discourses. These ideas, currently gaining common currency, threaten equal rights to dignity, citizenship and democratic participation for minorities throughout contemporary Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn authoritative account of the Norwegian terror attacks and the neo-racist discourse that motivated them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sindre Bangstad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178360008X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783600083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/05\/2015 pg. 55","brand":"Sindre Bangstad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48217548062975,"sku":"9781783600083","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8518165f-bcc0-4fc5-8427-8aa647299f99.jpg?v=1771997924","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anders-breivik-and-the-rise-sindre-bangstad-9781783600083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
