Religious Fundamentalism and Social Identity is unique in applying social identity theory to fundamentalism, and rare in that it provides psychological (in addition to sociological) analyses of the phenomenon. It is a valuable resource for courses in social psychology which seek to demonstrate the applicability of social psychological theory to the real world.
In this interview Peter talks about why he has decided in his retirement to concentrate on this most important of current issues; the conflicts and differences between Religious Fundamentalism and Secularism; popular misconceptions surrounding Religious Fundamentalism; and why in recent years Religious Fundamentalism has evolved from a sociological distraction into a global concern.
