Our swiftly evolving globalized world marks both the end of history and geography heretofore known to us. This erosion and eclipse of time and space has resulted in great waves of human migration that have placed us face to face with the stranger, the barbarian. This is a new answer to the old question about what one should do when encountering the Other on our doorsteps. Here we are offered a new ethic for the old ethic, the ancient Code of Hospitality (x i ). Here Toivo Koivukoski is doing what he does best, offering new ways for seeing the old and extraordinary ways for seeing the ordinary. -- Tom Darby, Carleton University
