note = "Funding Information: In “Islamist and Nativist Reactionary Radicalization in Europe,” Ayhan Kaya (2021) makes a strong contribution to understanding co‐radicalization by emphasising the defensive and reactionary response of Islamist youth and right‐wing nativist‐populist Europe youth, suffering from social, economic, and political forms of exclusion, sub‐ ordination, alienation, humiliation, and isolation. Kaya adopts an interdisciplinary perspective joining insights from politics, anthropology, psychology, and geography to extend our understanding of co‐radicalization through interviews of young people in Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. He finds the drivers of radical‐ ization between the two groups to be similar, high‐ lighting deprivations that span across political, socio‐ economic, and psychological conditions. In this project funded by the European Research Council (ERC), Kaya explains that reactionary Islamist and right‐wing populist‐ nativist groups are best understood as defensive move‐ ments of individuals pressurised by modernization and globalization. Their co‐radicalization is in essence a prod‐ uct of the identity politics of neoliberalism giving rise to Islamophobia, nativism, and religio‐political and ethno‐ cultural polarizations.
