Over the last few years, it has been impossible to ignore the
steady resurgence of xenophobia. The European migrant crisis and
immigration from Central America to the United States have placed
Western advocates of globalization on the defensive, and a 'New
Xenophobia' seems to have emerged out of nowhere. In this
fascinating study, George Makari traces the history of xenophobia
from its origins to the present day. Often perceived as an ancient
word for a timeless problem, 'xenophobia' was in fact only coined a
century ago, tied to heated and formative Western debates over
nationalism, globalization, race and immigration. From Richard
Wright to Sigmund Freud, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir,
writers and thinkers have long grappled with this most dangerous of
phobias. Drawing on their work, Makari demonstrates how we can
better understand the problem that is so crucial to our troubled
times.
