Once established, however, the newly independent nations had to deal with entirely unexpected religious fierceness. Michael Walzer, one of America's foremost political thinkers, examines this perplexing trend by studying India, Israel, and Algeria, three nations whose founding principles and institutions have been sharply attacked by three completely different groups of religious revivalists: Hindu militants, ultra-Orthodox Jews and messianic Zionists, and Islamic radicals. In his provocative, well-reasoned discussion, Walzer asks, Why have these secular democratic movements been unable to reproduce their political culture beyond one or two generations? In a postscript, he compares the difficulties of contemporary secularism to the successful establishment of secular politics in the early American republic--thereby making an argument for American exceptionalism but gravely noting that we may be less exceptional today. Michael Walzer, an eminent political theorist and emeritus professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, served as coeditor of the political journal Dissent for more than three decades and has played a critical role in the revival of practical, issue-focused ethics. / Contents Preface ix ONE The Paradox of National Liberation TWO The Paradox Illustrated: Zionism vs. Judaism THREE The Paradox Denied: Marxist Perspectives FOUR The Future of National Liberation Postscript.
