A major new book on the present-day forms of evil Ð terrorism, violence, racism and hatred.
Rather than treating evil as a supernatural force or a religious issue, Wieviorka analyses it from a sociological point of view, showing how these various forms of evil are constituted in day-to-day life.
The author draws on his research into these forms of evil in order to develop a fresh approach to understanding the darker regions of human behaviour.
This book will appeal to students and scholars as well as professionals such as social workers and general readers keen to understand the human production of inhuman conduct.
