The year 2001 began as the United Nations Year of Dialogue between Civilizations. By its end; the phrase that came most readily to mind was 'the clash of civilizations.' The tragedy of September 11 intensified the danger caused by religious differences around the world. As the politics of identity begin to replace the politics of ideology; can religion become a force for peace?The Dignity of Difference is Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's radical proposal for reconciling hatreds. The first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization; it also marks a paradigm shift in the approach to religious coexistence. Sacks argues that we must do more than search for values common to all faiths; we must also reframe the way we see our differences.

Griffin-Pierce is able to give a good perspective on the Navajo life and rituals without sounding too 'sciency'. Her writing is easy to read and she does a good job describing the process and art without using pictures (Navajo didn't want her to photograph the paintings). I would definitely recommend this book. I have since gained more interest in the subject and want to continue reading!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
