De dikke man in de geschiedenis

In this thought-provoking exploration, Peter Carey and Eva Wolff delve into the complexities of societal scapegoating throughout history. They analyze the tendency to blame specific groups, such as Jews, people of color, and immigrants, for various social and economic issues. Through a series of compelling narratives and historical examples, the authors provide insight into how prejudice has been perpetuated over time.

The book invites readers to reflect on the dangerous implications of these biases and the mechanisms that enable them to thrive. By examining the origins and consequences of such narratives, Carey and Wolff aim to foster a deeper understanding of the societal dynamics that continue to shape perceptions of identity and blame.
