Human Nature is the fuel of violent conflict. The War Hotel looks
at how we get aroused and how we get silenced into violent
conflict. We are pulled apart in the name of justice and loyalty.
Past trauma is triggered into a replay. Out of love and longing to
step beyond the ordinary world, we sacrifice ourselves and others.
Dehumanizing the enemy, disinformation, torture, stirring fear
in order to crack down - these terror tactics, too, are based in
psychology. The manipulation of psychological dynamics to create
violent conflict is distressing. But, if our emotions and behaviour
are the fuel, then our awareness can impact world events. There is
something truly hopeful here. Awareness makes a difference.
Examples draw particularly from the author's work in the
Balkans. Other examples include Nazi Germany, Rwanda, the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Communism and its fall in Europe,
South Africa, the treatment of Native Americans and African
Americans in the USA, Vietnam and the 'war on terror'.
