Dignity and humiliation are at the root of countless urgent issues today. This edited book provides a multifaceted discussion of dignity from diverse social, cultural, religious, legal, educational, psychological, and political perspectives. It is written as a special tribute to Dr. Evelin Lindner, a global scholar and researcher nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015, 2016, and 2017.Using the study of dignity and humiliation as a common foundation, this book examines some of the most challenging topics of our time, including human rights, mass incarceration, immigration, education, prisoner rehabilitation, peace advocacy, therapeutic jurisprudence, social justice, the preservation of indigenous wisdom, environmental destruction, and effective community advocacy. All of the contributing authors were inspired by the remarkable efforts of Evelin Lindner, the founding president of Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (HumanDHS), a transdisciplinary global community dedicated to ending cycles of humiliation and cultivating dignity in all relationships.Readers will learn that Evelin Lindner is the rarest of visionary leaders. She is a global social scientist, a Da Vinci of academic inquiry, transformative thought, and compassionate activism. Her path has led her beyond the tragedy of her family’s forced displacement during WWII to the highest levels of scholarship.One of the best ways to appreciate Evelin Lindner’s commitment to humanity is by meeting those who are inspired and energized by her message. The authors in this book represent a growing fellowship of those who share Evelin Lindner’s commitment to encouraging the equal dignity of all people while restoring the health of our fragile planet.
