For most people fundamentalism in the modern world has become synonymous with a radical form of Islam. But fundamentalism in many shapes and forms is also very much present in Western societies. Yes, fundamentalist economic, political, nationalistic, religious movements are aplenty in the West. Using the lens of cultural anthropology, Gerald Arbuckle examines fundamentalist attitudes and movements in this book, exploring why they arise and how readers can constructively respond to them.
