Vulnerability, Extremism, and Schooling: Restorative Practices, Policy Enactment, and Managing Risk documents and analyzes efforts by educational policymakers to combat susceptibility to extremism within disadvantaged communities. Schools worldwide are increasingly enlisted in the efforts of nation-states to prevent or counter violent extremism. However, since extremism is a notoriously complex and difficult concept to define, attempts to counter violent extremism are inevitably entangled in issues of political and social power. Through the lens of affective governance—which refers to a style of governing emphasizing the emotional and psychological needs of citizens, as well as their sense of connection and belonging to their community—this book draws attention to how policy enactment can be closely aligned with government agendas revolving around the management of risk. The authors argue that extremism is closely tied to systemic marginalization and, while efforts to combat a susceptibility to extremism are important, so is a continual critique of such efforts. This is especially true when approaches are aimed at populations who are already marginalized.

Reviews for Vulnerability, Extremism, and Schooling: Restorative Practices, Policy Enactment, and Managing Risk

"""In this exciting book, the editors draw together innovative research on the efforts of government policy actors to prevent or counteract extremism in schools and show the successes and failures of these efforts. A brilliant book that establishes new ground in the study of extremism in education, especially through its attention to policy enactment and restorative practices."" --Michalinos Zembylas, Open University of Cyprus"
