Description
On Inhumanity: Dehumanization and how to Resist it
This book explores the mechanisms of the human mind that lead to dehumanization, a phenomenon that can result in horrific episodes of mass violence. Drawing on historical and contemporary cases, and recent psychological research, the author examines the role of dehumanization in racism and other forms of prejudice.
Through a nuanced analysis of the psychology behind dehumanization, the book sheds light on the uncomfortable kinship between racism and dehumanization, and the ways in which this can lead to violence and hatred.
