ISBN:  9781612196244 (pbk.) Description:  127 p. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 119-127). Summary:  "Philosopher and leftist rabble-rouser Slavoj Zizek looks at one of the most desperate situations of our time: the current refugee crisis overwhelming Europe. Zizek argues that accepting all comers or blocking all entry are both untenable solutions. Hundreds of thousands of people, desperate to escape war, violence and poverty, are crossing the Mediterranean to seek refuge in Europe. Either we open our doors as widely as possible; or we try to pull up the drawbridge. Both solutions merely prolong the problem. The refugee crisis presents an opportunity, a unique chance for Europe to redefine itself. We must acknowledge that large migrations are our future and we must commit to a carefully prepared process of change, one founded not on a community that see the excluded as a threat, but one that takes as its basis the shared substance of our social being. The only way, in other words, to get to the heart of one of the greatest issues confronting Europe today is to insist on the global solidarity of the exploited and oppressed. Slavoj Zizek is a Slovenian psychoanalytic philosopher, cultural critic, and Hegelian Marxist. He is the author of numerous books on dialectical materialism, critique of ideology and art, including Living in the End Times, Welcome to the Desert of the Real and Trouble In Paradise"--Provided by publisher.
