Identity, Morality, and Threat: Studies in Violent Conflict offers a critical examination of the social psychological processes that generate outgroup devaluation and ingroup glorification as the source of conflict. The essays confront the practice of demonizing the Other as a rationalization violence. The authors provide insight into the possibilities for transforming threat-narratives into collaboration-narratives, and for changing past opposition into mutual understanding. Identity, Morality, and Threat is a strong contribution to the study of identity-based conflict and psychological defenses.
