The Clash Of Fundamentalisms

📖 The Clash of Fundamentalisms by Tariq Ali is a thought-provoking exploration of the global conflicts shaped by religion, ideology, and imperial power. The author critically examines the historical and political roots of Islamic and Western fundamentalisms, challenging mainstream narratives about the so-called “clash of civilizations.”

Ali connects events such as colonialism, the Cold War, the rise of political Islam, the 9/11 attacks, and the War on Terror to a broader struggle between competing worldviews. With deep historical insight, the book blends history, politics, and personal memoir, offering a unique perspective on how global powers manipulate religious and cultural differences for political gain.

Essential for students of politics, international relations, history, and current affairs, this book is both a scholarly work and a passionate critique of global injustice.
