Description
Hardcover, 448 pages, 2024, English language. In a world marked by extreme divisions, the struggle to find words that capture humanity's inclination to fracture itself is a pressing concern. This book explores the mechanisms of othering, drawing on examples from around the world and throughout history, to argue that the struggles faced by marginalized groups can only be fully grasped through the lenses of othering and belonging. The authors, social justice scholars John A. Powell and Stephen Menendian, make a compelling case for a true "belongingness paradigm," one that liberates us from rigid self-concepts while celebrating our rich diversity. By examining the ways in which othering and belonging intersect, they offer a profound exploration of how we can work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
