South African xenophobic violence by impoverished slum dwellers is directed against fellow Africans. \"Foreign\" Africans are blamed for a high crime rate and most other maladies of an imagined liberation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Why would a society that liberated itself in the name of human rights turn against people who escaped human rights violations or unlivable conditions at home? What happened to the expected African solidarity? Why do former victims become victimizers? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With porous borders, South Africa is incapable of upholding the blurred distinction between endangered refugees and economic migrants. \u003ci\u003eImagined Liberation\u003c\/i\u003e asks what xenophobic societies can learn from other immigrant societies, such as Canada, that avoided the backlash against multiculturalism in Europe. Heribert Adam and Kogila Moodley stress an innovative teaching of political literacy that makes citizens aware as to why they hate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heribert Adam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439911908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439911907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Heribert Adam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444883337471,"sku":"9781439911907","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81a48bd5-5aa4-441a-ba75-e3f7bb2cc665.jpg?v=1777215195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imagined-liberation-heribert-adam-9781439911907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
