Co-opting of Education by Extremist Factions

<p><em>The Co-opting of Education by Extremist Factions: Professing Hate </em>is a study of the ways in which various extremist groups have appropriated education for<strong> </strong>social manipulation in order to gain political power and in some cases to incite violence. It is a detailed exploration of case studies representing both a wide range of situational differences (time place and political orientation) and experiential similarities. To examine a broad scope of circumstances this book explores various types of rule (from National Socialism to communism to capitalism) from around the world (Europe Asia Africa and North America) and spans time periods from the mid-twentieth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. With the purpose of allowing these diverse situations to dialogue with one another this study explores each country in its own right as well as in relation to others ultimately demonstrating the extent to which they influenced one another.</p>
