Fundamentalism, as the word implies, is about getting back to basics, and for Americans this has meant getting back to God's word as proclaimed in the Bible. Yetthe issues that American fundamentalists have most hotly contested - abortion and the Equal Rights Amendment - have little to do with scritpure per se. Why are these so central? Perhaps it is because the real fundamentals of fundamentalism are social, not textual. Fundamentalism often seems to be about "family values" and restoring women to their "proper place" - not just in America, but wherever the corrosive effects of secular modernity are felt.
The essays in this book examine the connection between fundamentalism and gender. Looking in detail at Islam, Hinguism, the New Religions of Japan, and American Christianity, they reveal that control over women - their sexuality, reproductive power, and social and economic roles - is in fact central to the fundamentalist agenda. With these essays by leading authorities readers interested in women's issues, comparative religion, and global fundamentalism are given fresh perspectives on one of the most pressing debates of out time. |
