Sinopse

By Umberto Eco, Migration and Intolerance presents a collection of four fundamental essays on topics that are even more relevant and urgent today than when the texts were written.

The discussions surrounding the large migration flows we have seen in recent times and the intolerant attitude of many toward migrants have forced the world, especially European countries, to confront its own history and values. The four essays that comprise this volume invite the reader to reflect on these themes, which are even more relevant and urgent today than when the texts were written.

In these essays, Eco explains the differences between the phenomena of "migration" and "immigration," pointing out their characteristics and consequences, as well as explaining the nuances between fundamentalism, fundamentalism, racism, and intolerance, addressing their dangers in the contemporary world. The author argues that "mutual understanding between diverse cultures does not mean evaluating what the other must give up to become equal, but mutually understanding what separates us and accepting this diversity." He presents arguments to demonstrate that "eliminating racism does not mean demonstrating and convincing oneself that others are not different from us, but understanding and accepting them in their diversity."

Migration and Intolerance is an essential guide to seeing others with new eyes, and a concise, visionary, and unique manual for understanding the political and social landscape of this delicate moment in which misunderstandings and backward ideas seem to thrive.
