The extraordinary link between so many tragic recent attacks is that the perpetrators have practised in private before their public outbursts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In these searing case studies, Joan Smith, feminist and human rights campaigner, makes a compelling and persuasive argument for a radical shift in perspective. Incomprehensible ideology is transformed through her clear-eyed research into a disturbing but familiar pattern.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From the Manchester bomber to the \u003ci\u003eCharlie Hebdo\u003c\/i\u003e attackers, from angry white men to the Bethnal Green girls, from US school shootings to the London gang members who joined ISIS, Joan Smith shows that, time and time again, misogyny, trauma and abuse lurk beneath the rationalizations of religion or politics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Until Smith pointed it out in 2017, criminal authorities missed this connection because violence against women is dangerously normalised. Yet, since domestic abuse often comes before a public attack, it's here a solution to the scourge of our age might be found. Thought-provoking and essential, \u003ci\u003eHome-Grown\u003c\/i\u003e will lift the veil on a revelatory truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/joan-smith-books\"\u003eJoan Smith\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riverrun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781787476066\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Riverrun","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £5.50","offer_id":47917174259889,"sku":"SB-1787476065-C3","price":5.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1787476065.jpg?v=1789687712","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/home-grown-how-domestic-violence-turns-men-into-terrorists","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
