Abstract

Blocking out, turning a blind eye, shutting off, not wanting to know, wearing blinkers, seeing what we want to see ... these are all expressions of 'denial'. Alcoholics who refuse to recognize their condition, people who brush aside suspicions of their partner's infidelity, the wife who doesn't notice that her husband is abusing their daughter, are supposedly 'in denial'. Governments deny their responsibility for atrocities, and plan them to achieve 'maximum deniability'. Truth Commissions try to overcome the suppression and denial of past horrors. Bystander nations deny their responsibility to intervene, whether in Bosnia or Rwanda. &#13;&#13;Do these phenomena have anything in common? When we deny, are we aware of what we are doing or is this an unconscious defence mechanism to protect us from unwelcome truths? Can there be cultures of denial? How do organizations like Amnesty and Oxfam try to overcome the public's apparent indifference to distant suffering and cruelty? Is denial always so bad - or do we need positive illusions to retain our sanity? *States of Denial* is the first comprehensive study of both the personal and political ways in which uncomfortable realities are avoided and evaded. It ranges from clinical studies of depression, to media images of suffering, to explanations of the 'passive bystander' and 'compassion fatigue'. The book shows how organized atrocities - the Holocaust and other genocides, torture, and political massacres - are denied by perpetrators and by bystanders, those who stand by and do nothing.

Abstract

Nooit meer rustig slapen. Dit riskeert u na het lezen van dit boek. Grote troost, u weet dan wel waarom u niet kunt slapen. De auteur maakt een reis langs de talrijke problemen die de mensheid vandaag ontmoet. Van de Kosovo-oorlog tot de dioxine-crisis. &#13;Voor wie niet wil sterven aan de twintigste eeuw geeft de auteur de sleutels voor de volgende eeuw, en die zijn soms heel verrassend, zoals het basisinkomen van een kwart euro per dag voor alle zes miljard mensen op deze aarde. &#13;Dirk Barrez is een realist met een gefundeerd pleidooi voor een wereld die duurzamer, democratischer en eerlijker is.&#13;&#13;
