Spectre of the Stranger by Manu Bazzano
Retraces the origins of collective forms of malaise such as fanatical patriotism and xenophobia, both legacies of monotheism - the cult of an exclusivist deity. This title looks at the notions of covenant, territory, kinship and nation, and formulates the view of nation-state as expansion of the ego (Buber) and as imagined community.
Manu Bazzano has edited two best-selling poetry anthologies, Zen Poems (2001) and Haiku for Lovers (2003). He recently translated The Way of Awakening (2005), the most comprehensive single commentary on the great classic of Buddhist literature, Shantideva's Bodhicharyavatara, and is the editor of the Zen quarterly Hazy Moon.
