The effect of religious factors on politics has been a key issue since the end of the Cold War and the subsequent rise of religious terrorism. However, the systematic investigations of these topics have focused primarily on the effects of religion on domestic and international conflict. Scriptures, Shrines, Scapegoats, and World Politics offers a comprehensive evaluation of the role of religion in international relations, broadening the scope of investigation to such topics as the relationship between religion and cooperation, religion and conflict, and the relationship between religion and the quality of life.
Women in Fundamentalism Modes by Maxine L. Margolis
Call Number: BX 7800 .F864 M329 2020

Women in Fundamentalism examines the striking similarities in three extreme fundamentalist religious communities in their views about and treatment of women.

All three seek to maintain male control over women's bodies, women's activities, and the people with whom women associate.
