| Synopsis: |
Around the world, fundamentalist movements are profoundly affecting the way we live. Misinformation and misperception about fundamentalism exacerbate conflicts at home and abroad. Here The Fundamentalism Project has brought together 15 historians, sociologists, political scientists and scholars of education and international relations for a discussion of the advances made by anti-secular religious movements, showing the impact these movements have had on human relations, education, women's rights and scientific research. The essays consider developments within the religious traditions of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism in over a dozen nations. |
