It examines the psychosocial and anthropological conditions for constructing the Other and the devastating consequences of sharp divisions between We and the Other, between social and national groups, and between humans and nature. The author engages in a phenomenology of diversity that affirms and doubts differences, keeping them in a limbo of attention. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 219 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 March 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Open-Access-book delves into the complex and multifaceted nature of diversity, exploring its ambivalence. On one hand, it is celebrated as a valuable resource for personal, social, economic, and cultural growth. On the other hand, categories of differences often perpetuate discrimination or serve as justifications for privileges. They can lead to exclusion and, conversely, facilitate the self-constitution of discriminated subjects and groups. The book navigates this tension between exclusion and belonging, employing case studies of young ethnicized individuals to illustrate the intricate interplay between identity formation and diversity. Theoretically, the book examines the psychosocial and anthropological factors that shape the construction of the Other. Sharp divisions between \"We\" and the Other, between social and national groups, and between humans and nature have profound and potentially catastrophic consequences. Dichotomous split-offs divide people, nations, and the entire world. Thus, the question arises: how do we navigate the complexities of diversity? The author does not offer simplistic solutions but engages in a phenomenology of diversity that resists categorizing life and its manifestations into fixed categories, instead maintaining them in a state of attentive ambiguity by affirming and questioning differences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiversity, a multifaceted concept, holds both positive and negative implications. On the one hand, it is seen as a valuable resource for personal, social, economic, and cultural growth. It promotes a sense of belonging, fosters creativity, and enhances understanding and acceptance of different perspectives.
