«El choque de los fundamentalismos: cruzadas, yihads y modernidad» is the political essay by Tariq Ali, published by Alianza in paperback (447 pages).
The author reads the «war on terror» as a conflict between two fanaticisms: one imperial, intervening in Afghanistan and the Middle East to control oil, and another religious, springing from the humiliation suffered at the hands of the former. Both resort to sacred and anachronistic symbols.
A work of political analysis published in 2002, framed within the study of world politics and contemporary Islam.
For readers interested in international politics, geopolitics, and the debate on fundamentalisms and modernity.
Tariq Ali is a Pakistani-British political activist, writer, journalist, filmmaker, and public intellectual. He is a member of the editorial committee of the New Left Review and Sin Permiso, and contributes to The Guardian, CounterPunch, and the London Review of Books. He reads Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Exeter College, Oxford.
