Can There Be Life Without the Other?

Scholars and thinkers at the forefront of cultural debate bring global perspectives to bear on the issues for a peaceful, sustainable future in this dynamic volume of timely essays. The 13 papers included in this multidisciplinary collection span politics, anthropology, environmental studies, social psychology, and cultural studies. Exploring the risks that must be taken, and the possibilities that require imagination to create, the framework for a dialogue between peoples and a peaceful coexistence emerges as the contributors address how humans can learn to live with one another.
