Discourse on fundamentalism has gained much attention in recent
years, particularly in a post-9/11 context where extremist or
terrorist threats are more prominent, perilous, and pervasive. This
edited volume seeks to spotlight the perspectives of academics and
practitioners vis-a-vis global trends in religious fundamentalism
and right-wing extremism over the past decade. It presents a
collection of works from notable academics and practitioners;
including a selection of case studies from Asia to illustrate the
contemporary interplay of religion, politics and identity;
alongside broader global trends of religious fundamentalism.The
chapters that follow attempt to trace the sources and factors that
led to the dramatic rise in these powerful forces of faith, which
influence societies and politics around the world. Together, they
present a carefully curated narrative of the interplay of religion
and identity politics globally and across Asia. The prevailing
differences in demographics, history and the extent of
ethno-religious diversity across country contexts are perused
across each chapter, and the ensuing circumstances deliberated
upon.As these circumstances change, the ways people interpret their
identities, engage in politics, and navigate their religion will
also evolve. How we manage the effects of religious fundamentalism
must hence begin with an understanding of how religion, identity,
and politics interact - and this is what the upcoming chapters seek
to illustrate.
