Book Description
Do fundamentalisms tend toward political activism, and how
successful have they been in remaking political structures? To
answer this question, the contributors to this volume--
political scientists, historians of religion, anthropologists,
and sociologists--discuss the anti-abortion movement, Operation
Rescue in the United States, the Islamic war of resistance in
Afghanistan, Shi'ite jurisprudence in Iran, and other issues.
The volume considers the effect that antisecular religious
movements have had over the past twenty-five years on national
economies, political parties, constitutional issues, and
international relations on five continents and within the
traditions of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism,
and Sikhism. Marty and Appleby conclude with a synthetic
statement on the fundamentalist impact on polities, economies,
and state security.
