{"product_id":"circular-and-linear-yves-de-morsier-9781923333956","title":"Circular and Linear","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eThis book is different from other books about colonialism, racism and white supremacy.\u003c\/strong\u003e It does not repeat the facts that other books have exposed so well. Rather, it examines the cultural and human triggers of domination and contempt for others. It plunges into their causes, which reside in the deep heart-mind of humankind.\u003cstrong\u003eIt dares to look into the way we function as people\u003c\/strong\u003e in order to identify the mechanisms that foster our instinctual reactions when we meet \"the Other\". Our reactions may indeed be very powerful and difficult to control.\u003cstrong\u003eIt will show how the North and the South think in different terms - \u003c\/strong\u003ethe North in rational and linear ways; the South in cultural and circular ways (hence the title of this book).\u003cstrong\u003eIt will redefine some essential concepts that lie at the base of colonialism and white supremacy.\u003c\/strong\u003e It will investigate the meaning of culture and civilisation, race, identity, whiteness, otherness, truth, primitiveness, development, evolution, domination, enmity, conflict and (re)conciliation.\u003cstrong\u003eThis book will demonstrate the importance of choice.\u003c\/strong\u003e It will illustrate the path of personal and collective choices that lie at the root of all forms of freedom. It is because of the wide and rich range of possible choices that cultures are so diverse. It will examine the inner and intimate personal space in which we make these essential decisions that orientate our lives: it is called the hidden sphere.\u003cstrong\u003eFinally, it will examine the path of true liberation, \u003c\/strong\u003eagainst the diverse forms and tools of neo-colonialism; how the struggle for independence is configured; and what the functions of violence, of ideology, even of terrorism may be.\u003cstrong\u003eEach chapter will try to open and define this new path of liberation for all of us, \u003c\/strong\u003e because supremacy destroys us all. It is time we find other ways to relate and to practise true dialogue (i.e. true ways of peace and harmony). We need, all of us, to liberate ourselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yves de Morsier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 192333395X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781923333956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Desert Creek House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 1.53d","brand":"Yves de Morsier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519647133951,"sku":"9781923333956","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_255f6edf-8acb-44b8-ace0-df948f46fff9.jpg?v=1778738000","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/circular-and-linear-yves-de-morsier-9781923333956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
