Why are people around the world so resentful of Western cultural values and ideals? Historian Meic Pearse unpacks the deep divides between the West and the rest of the world. He shows how many of the underlying assumptions of Western civilization directly oppose and contradict the cultural and religious values of significant people groups. Those in the Third World, Pearse says, \"have the sensation that everything they hold dear and sacred is being rolled over by an economic and cultural juggernaut that doesn't even know it's doing it . . . and wouldn't understand why what it's destroying is important or of value.\" Pearse's keen analysis offers insight into perspectives not often understood in the West, and provides a starting point for intercultural dialogue and rapprochement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meic Pearse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e InterVarsity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.54w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830832026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2005 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2004 pg. 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/22\/2004 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2004 pg. 1678\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2005 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePearse, Meic:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Meic Pearse, originally from Britain, now lives in Croatia and the United States, where he is professor of history at Houghton College in Houghton, New York.
