She is the Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics at the University of Chicago, where she is in the Law School and Philosophy Department.

Klappentext
In this cautionary work, Nussbaum maintains that while America is focused on religious militancy and terrorism in the Middle East, democracy has been under siege from religious extremism in another critical part of the world: India.
Zusammenfassung
As Nussbaum reveals in this penetrating look at India today, the forces of the Hindu right pose a disturbing threat to its democratic traditions and secular state. Nussbaum's long-standing professional relationship with India makes her an excellent guide to its recent history.
