This result is an important next step in emotions history, and a direct link to a variety of developments in the political and religious sphere."--Peter N. Stearns, provost of George Mason University "Fear is the condition we live in. Or is it? In this timely book, a stellar cast of experts uncovers a perplexing array of concrete historical instances of fear, from the eighteenth-century Tupac Amaru Rebellion in colonial Latin America to Dutch Islamophobia in 2010. The reader will come away with a sense of the mind-boggling diversity of practices by which fear has been experienced. This book harbors a small hope that the current politics of fear might become history."--Jan Plamper, Goldsmiths, University of London
