{"product_id":"the-other","title":"The Other","description":"The master of literary reportage reflects on the West’s encounters with the non-European\n\nIn this distillation of reflections accumulated from a lifetime of travel, Ryszard Kapuscinski takes a fresh look at the Western idea of the Other. Looking at this concept through the lens of his own encounters in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and considering its formative significance for his own work, Kapuscinski traces how the West has understood the non-European from classical times to the present day. He observes how in the twenty-first century we continue to treat the residents of the Global South as hostile aliens, objects of study rather than full partners sharing responsibility for the fate of humankind.\n\nIn our globalised but increasingly polarised world, Kapuscinski shows how the Other remains one of the most compelling ideas of our times.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1786635968\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1786635968.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kapuscinski, Ryszard|Llyod-Jones, Antonia|Ascherson, Neal\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
