"The world is undergoing a global struggle between diversity and uniformity, cultural liberalism and fundamentalism, democracy and totalitarianism. A struggle about which aspects of each culture can and should be saved, and what aspects may be abandoned to make room for something new and enriching. The articles in this anthology approach these questions from different angles. This book is an edited selection of the dialogue that took place during Images of the World - a festival held in Copenhagen, Arhus, Odense, Aalborg and a number of small towns in Denmark during the months of August and September 2000.
