Summary:

This book builds on the criticism of development theory eminent in mainstream European and American sociology and anthropology by identifying and describing the processes at work in the critical transformation of religious fundamentalism today. Raising themes such as development and intersectionality and bringing together scholars from across the globe, it considers how these processes are seen in the Muslim, Christian and Jewish-Zionist world and in China.
