Alice Hasters

Author, publicist, and journalist Alice Hasters has written bestsellers such as WAS WEISSE MENSCHEN NICHT ÜBER RASSISMUS HÖREN WOLLEN ABER WISSEN SOLLTEN and IDENTITÄTSKRISE. In her new book, she explores the concept of victimhood and society’s perception of vulnerability. With a keen eye, she traces a cultural shift that is no coincidence that it coincides with a rise in authoritarianism and fascism: sensitivity is seen as weakness, and toughness as the currency of authenticity. With intellectual restlessness, ANTI OPFER counters the spread of this new toughness with the political power of solidarity as a form of resistance.
