Less Than Human: Why We Demean, Enslave, and Exterminate Others by David Livingstone Smith

1.0

This book was highly disappointing. This book is from an incredibly privileged perspective that uses philosophical jargon to hit everywhere except the target. This was basically a review of my required freshman classes with the valuable key points being able to fit on just one page. The end of the book poses the solution to look at this problem of dehumanization scientifically. The author completely ignores the issues of power and privilege as being the backbone of dehumanization. I could go on...basically I hated it.
