Fundamentalism by Malise Ruthven
Fundamentalist movements are seen as the major threat to world peace today, yet 'fundamentalism' is a term that eludes easy definitions. Malise Ruthven, writing with engaging clarity and directness, offers the first book to expose the nature of both religious and secular fundamentalism worldwide and to explore its many forms.
This is a gentle, civilised book, written with some styleI enjoyed reading it. * Sasthi Brata, Spectator 10/04/2004 *
The first clear definition of this indispensable yet misused term. * Anoush Ehteshami, University of Durham *
... an important contribution to the current political and cultural debates about Islam and the West, religious extremism, and the changing identity of supposedly secular societies. * R. Scott Appleby, University of Notre Dame *
