Educating Against Extremism

Extremism is a huge concern across the world right now, fueled by its links to terrorism and religious fundamentalism. This book explores the relationship of education to extremism and examines how education could counter its more dangerous forms.  Lynn Davies proposes a very different educational strategy to the conventional tolerant multiculturalism that pertains in the west. The task – a challenging one – is to politicize young people without cementing uncritical acceptance of single truths.
