Drawing on the thought of Hoffer and Durkheim, this volume analyses the responses of populations in Western societies who feel that changes in the racial, religious, and ethnic make-up of society threaten their way of life, employing the concepts of 'anomie' and 'the true believer' to understand the fractious nature of contemporary society.
