Pourquoi des dizaines de milliers de musulmans se convertissent-ils pour devenir chrétiens ou témoins de Jéhovah ? Comment expliquer que la religion qui croît le plus vite dans le monde soit le pentecôtisme ? Pourquoi le salafisme, doctrine musulmane particulièrement austère, attire-t-il de jeunes Européens ? Pourquoi si peu de jeunes catholiques entrent-ils dans les séminaires alors qu'ils se pressent autour du pape lors des Journées mondiales de la jeunesse ? Comment se fait-il que les défenseurs de la tradition anglicane conservatrice soient aujourd'hui nigérians, ougandais ou kényans, alors que le primat de l'Église en Angleterre approuve l'usage de la charia pour les musulmans britanniques ? Pourquoi la Corée du Sud fournit-elle, proportionnellement, le plus grand nombre de missionnaires protestants dans le monde ? Comment peut-on être " juif pour Jésus " ? Comment se fait-il que le premier musulman et le bouddhiste élus au Congrès américain en 2006 soient tous les deux des Noirs convertis ? La théorie du clash des civilisations, de S. Huntington, ne permet pas de comprendre de tels phénomènes. Car loin d'être l'expression d'identités culturelles traditionnelles, le revivalisme religieux est une conséquence de la mondialisation et de la crise des cultures. La " sainte ignorance ", c'est le mythe d'un pur religieux qui se construirait en dehors des cultures. Ce mythe anime les fondamentalismes modernes, en concurrence sur un marché des religions qui à la fois exacerbe leurs divergences et standardise leurs pratiques.

In this fresh, literate, and biting critique of current thinking on some of today's most important and controversial topics, leading anthropologists take on some of America's top pundits. This absorbing collection of essays subjects such popular commentators as Thomas Friedman, Samuel Huntington, Robert Kaplan, and Dinesh D'Souza to cold, hard scrutiny and finds that their writing is often misleadingly simplistic, culturally ill-informed, and politically dangerous. Mixing critical reflection with insights from their own fieldwork, twelve distinguished anthropologists respond by offering fresh perspectives on globalization, ethnic violence, social justice, and the biological roots of behavior. They take on such topics as the collapse of Yugoslavia, the consumer practices of the American poor, American foreign policy in the Balkans, and contemporary debates over race, welfare, and violence against women. In the clear, vigorous prose of the pundits themselves, these contributors reveal the hollowness of what often passes as prevailing wisdom and passionately demonstrate the need for a humanistically complex and democratic understanding of the contemporary world.
