How To Live With Each Other: An Anthropologist's Notes on Sharing a Divided World

by SAMANANI Farhan

An anthropologist looks at our modern world - and shows how we can build a better, more connected oneIncreasingly, we are coming to see difference, whether in the form of conflicting values or growing ethnic diversity, as an existential threat. Within much of the world, our main response has been to surround ourselves with like-minded people and double down on our own convictions, in an attempt to hold difference at bay. So, how did we get here, and what can we do about it?Here, anthropologist Farhan Samanani combines case studies from across the world with his own research to provide insights into the capacity of humankind to connect across divides. Using his anthropologist's toolkit, he explores the roots of our present tensions and casts fresh light on how we can cultivate common ground, build healthy communities and not just live but flourish together.

Dry and theoretical at times, but an excellent insight into London and multi-racial societies.
