Concerning: Faces of the Enemy
I am sorry to say my book The Faces of the Enemy has never been more relevant than in the current state of warfare between the United States and its enemies--- terrorists and the "axis of evil." The new 2004 edition includes a Study Guide, a chapter on The New Enemy and contains more than 400 posters and political cartoons (32 pages in color) that illustrate how enemies are dehumanized so they may be destroyed without remorse by portraying them as barbarians, terrorists, sadists, aggressors and enemies of God,
Of this book Joseph Campbell said "It is an essential document of our time"
Through the generosity of the Welles Family Foundation, we are able to send this edition of Faces of the Enemy, with the Study Guide free of charge to a select group of teachers and educators for possible use in the classroom It is our conviction that nothing is more urgent in our time than pondering the ways in which enmity and warfare are perpetuated and how we may wage peace more effectively. We welcome your help in encouraging widespread study of these issues.
The new edition of Faces of the Enemy with the Study Guide provides the basis for a curriculum on propaganda and warfare for high schools, colleges, churches, and other groups. It is recommended that, in addition to the book and Study Guide, you use the original PBS documentary “Faces of the Enemy” (available on DVD with added comments by the author and director) and Three illustrated Lectures by Dr. Keen---The Art of Enemy Making, The New Enemy, Beyond Enmity--- (available on DVD) All of these may be ordered from www.samkeen.com
"The powerful visuals in Faces of the Enemy draw students in and Sam Keen's insights soon have them examining their world through new eyes. The beauty of Faces is that it challenges students without threatening them. Their initial reaction is generally, "Let's analyze our own images and prejudices." The accompanying Study Guide provides engaging techniques for doing just this. Faces..allows students to understand the lines that divide school cafeterias as well as those the divide nations. Use this resource!" Bill Bornschein, teacher at Saint Xavier High School in Louisville, Ky
