“Because the Others are demonic and unbridled, we are empowered to protect ourselves from them and our prerogatives.”
From the description of the publisher
This perhaps shortest analytical formula of the broad perception of ‘others’ who have fled and migrated to Europe underlies the critical contributions of the anthology by María do Mar Castro Varela and Paul Mecheril.
The starting point for the contributions in the anthology, which contradict the aforementioned thesis from different perspectives, is the treatment of flight and migration in the media, in politics, and in everyday life, which would have made racism, which is open in Europe, ‘respectable’ again.
