'Enemy Images provides a comprehensive overview of our history of socially constructing an enemy Other, documenting how and why we marshal racist stereotypes and scapegoating rhetoric to inflame emotions and spur aggression. A much-needed primer to help make sense of the dehumanizing propaganda so prevalent in contemporary geo-political conflicts.'

'A must-read for anyone who wishes to understand and analyse enemy images. This impressively multidisciplinary book is a treasure trove and great source of inspiration for all students and scholars of peace and conflict in all their forms.'
