This volume will make the reader sit up and pay attention. It gives due weight to the world-changing potential of religious fundamentalism, as a force as powerful as Marxism was in the twentieth-century. It pays scholarly regard to the diversity of fundamentalism in different religious and regional settings. And it delves into a matter calling out for our attention: the effect of fundamentalism on education. The context for its discussions is the world since September 11, 2001. The blend of scholarship and political urgency renders this volume both a valuable resource and a call to responsible action.
