Description

Polarisation seems to fix people in antagonistic us/them camps. But, around the world, there are groups of citizens who refuse to give up on the democratic promise of a larger ‘we’. Challenging received prejudices and resisting tribal appeals from political leaders and social media, they practise dialogue and deliberation to nurture reciprocal respect for difference.

Guided by insights from deliberative democracy, social psychology, memory studies and other fields, Cherian George takes readers on a global, multi-sectoral tour of the fight against polarisation. On an American campus inflamed by war in the Middle East, a small group of pro-Palestine and pro-Israel students meet over meals to try to understand one another. In Indonesia, women join hands to overcome religious conflict in their hometown. In New Zealand, indigenous Mâori and the descendants of settlers serve as joint custodians of the country's longest river. The book reveals how lessons from this resistance movement help chart a path for democracies confronting division and hate.

Fighting Polarisation is enlightening reading for undergraduate and graduate students of media and communication studies, comparative politics, political sociology, human rights, and conflict studies, as well as general readers concerned about the future of democracy.
