Sharp social analysis
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Riesebrodt compares social processes which gave birth to two so-called fundamentalist movements. He systematically and with quite great detail investigates similarities -- and differences -- between the contexts of these movements. The topic is handled without disturbing passion which this kind of politically sensitive subject easily raises. Results of the study are easily accessible and logical. This research doesn't leave room for needless guessing. A model example for cool, hard-working and honest social science.
