 Belonging without othering: how we save ourselves and the world /john a. powell and Stephen Menendian. Belonging without Othering is   profound exploration arguing that the struggles faced by marginalized groups can only be fully grasped through the lenses of othering and belonging. Powell and Menendian  unearth the mechanisms of othering, drawing on examples from around the world and throughout history. This book offers an approach that encourages us to turn toward one another–even if it involves questioning seemingly tolerant and benevolent forms of othering. Crucially, the authors assert that there’s no inherent or inevitable notion of an other. The authors make a compelling case for a true belongingness paradigm, one that liberates us from rigid self-concepts while celebrating our rich diversity.

 Weeping Bay /by Joy Davidman. Tourists often passed through the little town of Weeping Bay in the Gaspé peninsula. They exclaimed from their big automobiles at the magnificent scenery, the quaint local customs, the picturesque fishermen’s huts, and at the church with its gilt towers. But they did not see the real Weeping Bay. There were passion and violence, love and hate, and unquenchable human longing in Weeping Bay. There was also a wrong–a wrong that could have been righted by faith in humanity, rather than by desperate clinging to a rigid creed. It is that story that Joy Davidman tells with such force and searing intensity.
