Description
As ancient as Cain and Abel and as recent as yesterday’s headlines, hate has many faces: racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sectarianism, domestic violence. But do we really understand its roots, and are there practical ways to cope with it? What is hate doing to us? And what does hate do for us?
In Beyond Hate, award-winning journalist Bill Moyers seeks to answer these and other questions. His search takes him across the country and around the world, from Jerusalem to South Central Los Angeles, from the Anatomy of Hate conference in Oslo, Norway, to a classroom in Brooklyn, New York. Moyers talks to those whose lives have been shaped by hate and those who have dedicated their lives to going beyond it, including Elie Wiesel, Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, Myrlie Evers-Williams, Václav Havel, and others.
In a broadcasting career spanning 40 years, journalist Bill Moyers has distinguished himself at Newsday, NBC, CBS, and PBS. His many honors include lifetime achievement Emmy® and Peabody awards.
