This book shows how ordinary and seemingly decent people can be stirred to hate and even to kill their neighbours, using the twisted caricatures of propaganda posters, biased cartoons, and distorted images served up in print and on screen. In pictures and in text, noted philosopher and Jungian Sam Keen delves beneath legitimate grievances and questions of right and wrong to get at the psychological mechanism of enmity itself.
This bellwether work by Sam Keen challenges us to examine the psychology behind enmity and war, the myriad ways in which we dehumanize enemies through propaganda and bigotry, and the path of compassion and kindness which offers a way out of the terrible cycles of violence that have been passed down from generation to generation. This out-of-print paperback (still available in libraries or from Amazon and other used book dealers) contains an extraordinary collection of propaganda posters, biased cartoons, and hate-filled images that have appeared in print and on the screen to justify war and hatred of the enemy in a variety of historical contexts.
