January/February 2006: Politics and Religion

Volume 40, Number 1

Is the religious Right rising to worldwide prominence, or even — God Forbid! — dominance? The new issue of Canadian Dimension starts a “Rude Conversation” about the secular state and the place of religion in politics. Other highlights include articles on political pop music, peak oil, and the fight for justice for refugees and immigrants.
