Produktinformationen zu „Scapegoat (ePub)“
A "brief and vital account" of humanity's long history of playing the blame game, from Adam and Eve to modern politics-"a relevant and timely subject" (The Daily Telegraph).
We may have come a long way from the days when a goat was symbolically saddled with all the iniquities of the children of Israel and driven into the wilderness, but has our desperate need to absolve ourselves by pinning the blame on someone else really changed all that much?
Charlie Campbell highlights the plight of all those others who have found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, illustrating how God needs the Devil as Sherlock Holmes needs Professor Moriarty or James Bond needs "Goldfinger."
Scapegoat is a tale of human foolishness that exposes the anger and irrationality of blame-mongering while reminding readers of their own capacity for it. From medieval witch burning to reality TV, this is a brilliantly relevant and timely social history that looks at the obsession, mania, persecution, and injustice of scapegoating.
"A wry, entertaining study of the history of blame . . . Trenchantly sardonic." -Kirkus Reviews
