Abstract
Contrary to what the dominant discourse from both the Left and the Right claims, fundamentalism is not limited to the actions of a marginal group of religious radicals. Rather, fundamentalism corresponds to a significant characteristic of American culture and, as such, fundamentalist tendencies are embodied by everyone, religious radical and secular liberal alike. Fundamentalism, defined as the incapacity and/or unwillingness to acknowledge difference, contributes to a violent dehumanizing of the other and discloses a profound need to rethink not only the language of otherness but also the global event of sharing the world.
