The rest and the west

I have just received from InterVarsity Press a copy of a new book by Meic Pearse, Why the Rest Hates the West: Understanding the Roots of Global Rage. I've only glanced through it thus far, but it seems to be a welcome antidote to the popular, if reductionist, economic deprivation school of analysis, focussing instead on broader religious and cultural factors. I may comment further when I've read it.
