The Other in the Mirror by Sehyr Mirza
The Other in the Mirror by Sehyr Mirza is a powerful collection of essays exploring themes of identity, peacebuilding, and coexistence in South Asia. Drawing from personal narratives, grassroots activism, and field experiences, Mirza tackles pressing issues of religious intolerance, social polarization, and the “othering” of communities through a lens of empathy and critical thinking.
This book serves as a bold and timely reminder that meaningful change begins by confronting internal biases and fostering dialogue. From cross-border peacebuilding efforts to the lived realities of women and minorities, Mirza’s work is rooted in the belief that human connection and solidarity are the antidotes to hate and division.
Her essays are accessible yet intellectually engaging, offering readers an intimate look at the fault lines of South Asian society and the courageous individuals working to bridge them. The Other in the Mirror is both a personal and political journey — a mirror held up to ourselves, asking who we are and who we choose to be in a fractured world.
