IN SEARCH OF COMMON GROUND Inspiring True Stories of Overcoming Hate in a Divided World

With his clear voice and flawless interpretations, Robert Fass's performance aligns well with this socially conscious documentary. It's an informed examination of the widening divide between various groups, written by a respected German journalist. He reports the stories of men and women around the world whose personal contacts with individuals in hated groups caused them to moderate their prejudices. Fass is also adept at performing the intimate and often touching stories of the entrenched haters as they engaged with the people they hated. From Nazis in Germany to homophobic legislators in the UK and Islamophobes in Denmark, personal contact under specific circumstances showed promise in reducing negative stereotypes and fear. The audiobook includes illuminating examples and social science research on these topics. T.W. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2022]
