« The march of fundamentalisms? »

conversation with Haleh Afshar, Professor of Politics and Women’s Studies, York UniversityLondres What is fundamentalism?

Are we on the brink of a new era in which politics is dominated by fundamentalisms of both East and West, or are fundamentalists just better organised and more inspired than everyone else?
