In many places around the world, relations between ethnic and
religious groups that for long periods coexisted more or less
amicably are now fraught with aggression and violence. This trend
has profound international implications, threatening efforts to
narrow the gap between rich and poor. Underscoring the need for
sustained action, George Rupp urges the secular West to reckon with
the continuing power of religious conviction and embrace the full
extent of the world's diversity. While individualism is a powerful
force in Western cultures and a cornerstone of Western foreign
policy, it elicits strong resistance in traditional communities.
Drawing on decades of research and experience, Rupp pushes modern
individualism beyond its foundational beliefs to recognize the
place of communal practice in our world. Affirming the value of
communities and the productive role religion plays in many lives,
he advocates new solutions to such global challenges as conflicts
in the developing world, income inequality, climate change, and
mass migration.
