Sommario/riassunto: | Many of those committing recent terrorist attacks have been intent, and have often succeeded, in killing themselves in the process. This volume explores and compares religious and secular traditions of martyrdom and terrorism. Through multidisciplinary analyses, this volume seeks to provide a new and exciting opportunity to develop a comparative history of the practices and discourses of terrorism and martyrdom from antiquity to the twenty-first century. |
