Notes
Carolin Emcke is a prominent journalist, academic and author. Her contribution to public life has been recognized with many awards, including the Otto Brenner Prize for Critical Journalism and the Peace Prize of the German Publishers’ Association, Germany’s most prestigious literary award.
‘With exemplary lucidity, passion and brevity, Carolin Emcke
anatomizes a toxic political emotion – and the many insidious, even
benign, forms it increasingly assumes in public life. Against
Hate is an urgent and necessary book, and all those who seek a
way out of our current impasse should read it.’
Pankaj Mishra ‘At a time when, all over the globe, groups have
mobilized around hatred of strangers, foreigners, migrants and
refugees, Emcke analyses with subtlety and psychological precision
the hearts and minds of those who hate. A must-read book for our
times.’
Seyla Benhabib, Yale University
‘Against Hate is a heartfelt and powerful argument for the
defence of a democratic, pluralist society that not only tolerates
but also welcomes otherness. There’s no mistaking its timeliness.’
John Foster, Medium
