Against the fears, dogmas, and demands for certainty and security that push us toward hostility, we also desire to wager with the unknown, leap into the unanticipated, and celebrate the new, a desire this book seeks to recognize and cultivate. The book contends that hospitality means chancing one's hand, one's arm, one's very self, thereby opening a vital space for new voices to be heard, shedding old skins, and welcoming new understandings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRadical Hospitality\u003c\/i\u003e engages with urgent moral conversations concerning identity, nationality, immigration, commemoration, and justice, moving between theory and praxis and on to the formative life of the classroom.

It is descriptively rich in historical examples and concrete phenomenologies of hospitality in all its embodiments. The book goes beyond mere description to grasp the ethics of hospitable interactions, giving nuance to the ambiguities of these interactions and showing their fragility as well as their necessity. Above all, Kearney and Fitzpatrick show how effective acts of hospitality at once recognize human fragility and vulnerability and yet provide the strength and inspiration to pursue peace.\"--Edward S.
