Alice Hasters · Nonfiction · Ullstein, 2026 · German
What happens when being called a victim becomes an insult? In Anti Opfer: Warum wir Verletzlichkeit verachten, Alice Hasters examines the contempt directed at vulnerability and the attraction of hardness in contemporary public life.
Her new nonfiction book connects debates about harm, strength, and responsibility with the political appeal of authoritarian thinking. It offers a starting point for discussing how we recognize suffering without reducing people to it.
Why we are reading it
For BGHRA readers, these questions connect with the work of listening to Black experiences and making room for histories of harm, resistance, and care. Hasters invites us to consider what a more connected public life might require of us.
