Overview

Solidarity or Barbarism traces the multiple and complex roots of European peoples, and contrasts this pluralism with the recurring tragedy of ethnic cleansing, a tragedy which the authors argue has been all too common in European history. By presenting a new perspective on Europe's origins, the authors open the possibility for a new vision of a complex, heterogeneous Europe based on partnership and cooperation.

Rich in detail, this book captures the profound roots of Europe's present turmoil. The authors artfully survey a thousand years of history through the prism of European ethnic diversity, and chronicle recurring efforts by various national communities to achieve homogeneity. The movement towards a united Europe needs periodic reminding that more than economic prosperity is at stake, that the potential for chaos continues to lie just below the surface of European life. This book provides that powerful reminder. (Steven J. Baker, Dean, Graduate School of International Policy Studies, Monterey Institute of International Studies) This important and fascinating book provides us with an understanding of history's complexity that can allow us to move beyond the repetitive bloodletting that today we call ethnic cleansing. I recommend it highly to all who care about our future. (Riane Eisler, Author of 'The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future')
