Summary
According to sociologist C. Wright Mills, we do not live in a world of fact but in a world permeated by culture, constructed by humans through communication with each other. Myth-making shapes our lives, beliefs and behavior. Providing a sociological and multicultural analysis, this book examines myth-making in the today's world amid religious extremism and terrorism.--, Provided by publisher
