Politics and Racism Beyond Nations

This book brings together theoretical knowledge from diverse fields as anthropology,biology, neurology, peace studies, political science, psychology, and sociology to address key challenges that transcend borders. Itdemonstrates how differences are created on many levels toreveal 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 racialtrauma. It further argues that we cannot limit our understanding ofracism to forms of "white nationalism" or "whiteness movements" in the developed world and regions but look to theglobal formulation of such discrimination in colonial histories. The bookintroduces each chapter by providing rich ethnographic narratives from informants based upon the author's research on nationalism, racism, genocide, terrorism, trauma, scientific tolerance, and love and peaceas well as some auto-ethnographic narratives from the author's research on these themes.
