This book offers a detailed understanding of âenemy imagesâ, which are used in political rhetoric to dehumanize adversaries for various purposes, such as to legitimate violent conflicts.

Applying theoretical models to a strong catalogue of historical and recent examples â" from blood libel narratives in medieval manuscripts, to state-sponsored childrenâs board games in Nazi Germany and social media posts about the wars in Gaza and Ukraine â" the book identifies how âenemy imagesâ have led to the development of dominant socio-political paradigms by providing justifications for and reinforcements of violent conflicts both within and between societies. In doing so, the work offers an up-to-date, accessible and authoritative overview of how to identify, analyse, and counteract energy images â" which will be key to fostering social environments of reconciliation and peacebuilding for the future.

This book will be of much interest to students and scholars of peace and conflict studies, International Relations, history, political sociology, and communication studies.
