'In times of economic austerity and political turmoil, insecurity and otherness can have dangerous outcomes, especially for those groups marginalized and damaged by neoliberalism. This challenging and ambitious multidisciplinary text seeks to identify and underline the problems Europe is facing as well as addressing potential solutions. It is an essential and gripping read.'Colin Clark, University of Strathclyde, UK'Insecurity and fear of the other have risen to become major organizing principles of social life, transforming both our forms of communality and our political subjectivities. This excellent book brings together some exceptional thinkers that not only offer us acute analyses of this critical condition but provide us with new tools and concepts that allow us to think it further.'Ghassan Hage, University of Melbourne, Australia'This book attempts to capture otherness and relative fear as a prominent figure of the problematic relations between Western societies and not fully included citizens or migrants. Through an interdisciplinary analysis of European cases, the text can help us to understand challenges and dynamics related to the winds of crisis that appear, not surprisingly, as inseparable companions of the last two decades.' Lucio d'Alessandro, Suor Orsola Benicasa University, Italy
