Islamic State in Britain

Discover the groundbreaking insights of Islamic State in Britain by Michael Kenney, published by Cambridge University Press in 2019. This compelling paperback, spanning 301 pages, represents the first ethnographic study of al-Muhajiroun, a European activist network linked to terrorist activities and the recruitment of fighters for the Islamic State.

Through extensive field research, Kenney delves into the complex motives driving young Britons to join al-Muhajiroun, shedding light on their radicalization processes and the factors that led many to ultimately disengage. This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the intersections of Islam, politics, and radicalism in modern Britain.

With its focus on contemporary issues of terrorism and religious extremism, Islamic State in Britain is a vital resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking to grasp the nuances of Islamic fundamentalism in Europe today.
