| Summary |
"Based on exclusive elite-interviews with 116 religious and political leaders in three countries, "The Godless Crusade" not only makes a considerable theoretical contribution to the academic literature across different disciplines, but also represents a major intellectual intervention in contemporary social and political debates about how multi-cultural societies can confront the challenges of right-wing populism, white identity politics and religious activism"-- Provided by publisher |
