About this book
Reviews
“As this volume’s authors demonstrate, the names and terms we use carry moral value about deservingness, about hospitality, and about rights to space and resources. As communal conflict continually reminds us to seek and fear communal solidarity, this book offers distinct insights that explain the dynamic dangers of exclusion. The book deserves particular credit for deploying a remarkable collection of scholars and practitioners to surface these themes. While many will not yet be known to the global academy, their contributions suggest they should be.”
-- Loren B. Landau, Professor, University of Oxford, UK and University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
“Moyo and Mpofu have successfully assembled a stellar group of academics to explore the complex and indeed opaque subject of xenophobia. The result is a brilliant and enlightening volume that expands the canvas of perspectives and advances frontiers of knowledge. I have nothing but praise for this important volume.”
--Sabelo J Ndlovu-Gatsheni, Professor and Chair of Epistemologies of the Global South, University of Bayreuth, Germany
