How We Invented the Other
The article explains that people shape their identities through shared narratives, memories, and symbols that give communities a sense of belonging and continuity. They also form images of others based on assumptions that may precede any direct knowledge of them. These stories can become tools of domination and exclusion, reinforcing stereotypes, as authorities use them to interpret the past, justify the present, and shape public perception. The article calls for a critical anthropology that re-examines inherited narratives and treats imagination as a bridge to understanding and dialogue—not as a means of distorting the other.
