Quick Overview
What is the lure of oppressive ideologies when all they achieve is conflict and devastation? This month we look behind the blood-soaked headlines to explain the political motivations and will to power of the fundamentalist mind. Articles include reports from Pakistan, where fundamentalist entrenchment is holding civil society hostage, and India, where a hard-line upsurge is being stirred for political gain.
There is first-person testimony about the intellectual vandalism of fundamentalist schooling, coverage of how US Christian rightwingers are spreading homophobia in Africa, and a satirical look at free market fundamentalism’s cult of the invisible and unproven. Contributors include: Ziauddin Sardar, Urvashi Butalia, Patience Akumu, Jonny Scaramanga and Robert W Parenteau.
