Looking at this concept through the lens of his own encounters in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and considering its formative significance for his own work, Kapuscinski traces how the West has understood the non-European from classical times to the present day. He observes how in the twenty-first century we continue to treat the residents of the Global South as hostile aliens, objects of study rather than full partners sharing responsibility for the fate of humankind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn our globalised but increasingly polarised world, Kapuscinski shows how the Other remains one of the most compelling ideas of our times.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Pinsk (in what is now Belarus), the celebrated Polish foreign correspondent \u003cb\u003eRyszard Kapuściński\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of, among other titles, \u003ci\u003eShah of Shahs\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eImperium\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShadow of the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Other\u003c\/i\u003e and the memoir \u003ci\u003eTravels with Herodotu\u003c\/i\u003es.
