Description
Ryszard Kapuscinski reflects on the Western idea of the Other in this thought-provoking work. Through his own experiences and observations from around the world, he examines how the West has understood non-European cultures since classical times. The concept of the Other remains a powerful and enduring idea in our globalised but increasingly polarised world. Kapuscinski shows how we continue to treat people from the Global South as objects of study rather than as full partners sharing responsibility for the fate of humankind. This collection of reflections offers a fresh perspective on the Western idea of the Other, highlighting its significance for his own work and its continued relevance today.
