“The book is interesting and uses diverse examples from around the world. … I would recommend this book for scholars who are interested in the topics of identity, violence, and power and/or who are interested in how historical case studies can be used in a scientific way to help us understand relationships between thoughts and behaviors.” (Helen C. Harton, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (32), August, 2017)
