Episode notes
In this book, Politics and Racism Beyond Nations: A Multidisciplinary
Approach to Crises, I demonstrate how differences are created on many
levels to reveal how the “othering project” is evident through national
policies of immigration, through aspiring nationalisms, through genocidal
inhumanity, and the subsequent effects of such othering evident in racial
trauma. Moreover, the book expands how after all the discussion on hatred from racism,
difference, and persecution we may examine notions of empathy, love, and
peace through Amerindian and Buddhist perspectives. Particularly, when
considering Amerindian philosophies about nature and Buddhist philo-
sophical perspectives on “inter-being” we may reach toward more loving
views of self, humanity, and the environment.
