The Speech of Hatred and Nationalism:
Causes and Consequences

The book, "The Speech of Hatred and Nationalism: Causes and Consequences", resulted from our need to draw public attention to more and more frequent attacks to human dignity. The texts published in the book provide key information on the incidents of the language of hatred, nationalism and xenophobia, indicating their causes and their consequences in the society.

The book includes the following stories:

1. Looking at Each Other Askance – Olivera Milosavljević
2. Is There "Soft" and "Hard" Nationalism? – Ivan Šijaković
3. At the Beginning of the New Century – Marija Gajicki
4. Could a Roma Song be Sung in Hungarian and Serbian? – Đerđ Serbhorvat
5. Reconciliation, Social Awareness and Media – Viktoria Toma
6. What is the Message of the Graffiti Written throughout Vojvodina? – Svenka Savić
7. Right-wing Extremism in Germany and Berlin – Timm Köhler
8. Universal UN Declaration on Human Rights
9. International Documents under the Auspices of the UN

We believe that only by a direct confrontation with reality in which we live, without making it more beautiful and less harmful, we can contribute to the creation of the free and open society which respects human rights and the rule of law. This publication is our modest contribution to the educational processes aimed at reaching peace and peaceful solutions for crisis and conflicts.
