Margaret Chatterjee's new work Hinterlands and Horizons--a
collection of nine phenomenological essays ranging across cultures
and time periods--studies the historical and cultural evolution of
the idea of amity and the concomitant concepts of fraternity,
friendship, and tolerance. The work starts with the Enlightenment's
idea of fraternity and its destruction during the fratricide of the
French Terror. It includes chapters focusing upon the encounters
between colonizers and missionaries, the impact of the Holocaust on
the search for amity, the prospect for amity in contemporary
multiculturalism, and the potential of religion to deepen the
experience of amity. An incisive interdisciplinary analysis of the
bases of discord and harmony, of history and memory, Hinterlands
and Horizons will be an enduring contribution to the history of
ideas.
