Description

Book Synopsis
Throughout history there has always been an `other', often based on culture, race, gender or class, that has been demonised by the majority. Whitehead challenges the idea that this is an inevitable fact of life. This important book offers a resolution that benefits society as a whole rather than just the powerful few.

Trade Review
"How to live alongside each other has always been one of the concerns of social scientists and philosophers. This book cleverly invites us to turn the 'other' from an enemy into a neighbour: a noble achievement." Vincenzo Ruggiero, Middlesex University
