Against the Double Blackmail: Refugees, Terror and Other Troubles with the Neighbours - Softcover
'One of our best-known living philosophers' Guardian How do we respond to the refugee crisis - by opening our doors, or pulling up the drawbridge? Both solutions, argues Slavoj Žižek, offer ideological blackmail, and both are wrong. He proposes that instead we see the crisis as an opportunity: a unique chance for Europe to redefine itself and its future. 'Žižek identifies the refugee crisis as one of the major global challenges of our time ... he argues for a politics of solidarity' The Times Literary Supplement

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The celebrated philosopher returns with a provoking analysis of Europe's crisis. Exposing its real nature, he asks- what is to be done?Today, hundreds of thousands of people, desperate to escape war, violence and poverty, are crossing the Mediterranean to seek refuge in Europe. Our response, argues Slavoj Zizek, offers two versions of ideological blackmail- either we open our doors as widely as possible; or we try to pull up the drawbridge. Both solutions are bad, states Zizek.He shows how the refugee crisis also presents an opportunity, a unique chance for Europe to redefine itself- but, if we are to do so, we must acknowledge that large migrations are our future. Only then can we commit to a carefully prepared process of change, one founded not on a community that sees the excluded as a threat, but one that takes as its basis the shared substance of our social being. Maybe such global solidarity is a utopia. But, warns Zizek, if we don't engage in it, then we are really lost. And we will deserve to be.
