Together these volumes examine the reasons behind the enduring resonance of the crusades and present the memory of crusading in the modern period as a productive, exciting and much needed area of investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crusades in the Modern World evaluates a broad range of contemporary uses of the crusades and crusading to answer key questions about crusading today and how the crusades are understood. Each chapter demonstrates how perceptions of the crusades are deployed in causes and conflicts which mark the present, exploring the ways in which those perceptions are constructed and received. Throughout the book there is a focus on the use of crusading rhetoric and imagery to frame and justify violence, including crusading discourses employed by both Islamic fundamentalists and far-right terrorists, and the related deployment of 'Reconquista' rhetoric by populist movements in Europe. The use of the crusades for building national identity is also a recurring theme, while chapters on academic engagement with the crusades and on the ways in which Wikipedia articles on the crusades are created and contested highlight the ongoing production of knowledge about crusading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crusades in the Modern World is ideal for scholars of the crusades as well as for military historians and historians of memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Horswell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032091886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032091884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.36d","brand":"Mike Horswell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136117330175,"sku":"9781032091884","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01e5503e-13ef-42cf-8ee7-2a389dbc75f3.jpg?v=1726415735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crusades-in-the-modern-mike-horswell-9781032091884","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
