Balsam Mustafa is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Warwick, UK
Mustafa’s knowledgeable and unflinchingly honest analysis offers a
unique perspective on the narratives created and circulated by ‘IS’
and the responses in the media. Theoretically rigorous, the book
contributes fresh insights into the translation of extremist
political and religious narratives in multimodal contexts.

Balsam Mustafa's book is a triumph not only of scholarship but also
of understanding and decency. Through her navigation of the Islamic
State in political, social, and cultural contexts -using ISIS's
words, videos, and the cruelest of its actions - she offers a
comprehension that points us to a response for humanity against
violence and killing.
