Tolerance Is a Wasteland : Palestine and the Culture of Denial
How denial sustains the liberal imagination of a progressive and democratic Israel. The question that this book aims to answer might seem simple: how can a violent project of dispossession and discrimination be imagined, felt, and profoundly believed in as though it were the exact opposite––an embodiment of sustainability, multicultural tolerance, and democratic idealism?Despite well-documented evidence of racism and human rights abuse, Israel has long been embraced by the most liberal sectors of European and American society as a manifestation of the progressive values of tolerance, plurality, inclusivity, and democracy, and hence a project that can be passionately defended for its lofty ideals. Tolerance Is a Wasteland argues that the key to this miraculous act of political alchemy is a very specific form of denial.Here the Palestinian presence in, and claim to, Palestine is not simply refused or covered up, but negated in such a way that the act of denial is itself denied.The effects of destruction and repression are reframed, inverted into affirmations of liberal virtues that can be passionately championed.In Tolerance Is a Wasteland, Saree Makdisi explores many such acts of affirmation and denial in a range of venues: from the haunted landscape of thickly planted forests covering the ruins of Palestinian villages forcibly depopulated in 1948; to the theater of "pinkwashing" as Israel presents itself to the world as a gay-friendly haven of cultural inclusion; to the so-called Museum of Tolerance being built on top of the ruins of a Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem, which was methodically desecrated in order to clear the space for this monument to "human dignity." Tolerance Is a Wasteland reveals the system of emotional investments and curated perceptions that makes this massive project of cognitive dissonance possible.

Good Enough : The Tolerance for Mediocrity in Nature and Society
In this spirited and irreverent critique of Darwin’s long hold over our imagination, a distinguished philosopher of science makes the case that, in culture as well as nature, not only the fittest survive: the world is full of the “good enough” that persist too. Why is the genome of a salamander forty times larger than that of a human?Why does the avocado tree produce a million flowers and only a hundred fruits?Why, in short, is there so much waste in nature? In this lively and wide-ranging meditation on the curious accidents and unexpected detours on the path of life, Daniel Milo argues that we ask these questions because we’ve embraced a faulty conception of how evolution—and human society—really works. Good Enough offers a vigorous critique of the quasi-monopoly that Darwin’s concept of natural selection has on our idea of the natural world.Darwinism excels in accounting for the evolution of traits, but it does not explain their excess in size and number.Many traits far exceed the optimal configuration to do the job, and yet the maintenance of this extra baggage does not prevent species from thriving for millions of years.Milo aims to give the messy side of nature its due—to stand up for the wasteful and inefficient organisms that nevertheless survive and multiply. But he does not stop at the border between evolutionary theory and its social consequences.He argues provocatively that the theory of evolution through natural selection has acquired the trappings of an ethical system.Optimization, competitiveness, and innovation have become the watchwords of Western societies, yet their role in human lives—as in the rest of nature—is dangerously overrated.Imperfection is not just good enough: it may at times be essential to survival.

Is something wrong with this whole culture of tolerance?
While the concept of tolerance is generally positive and promotes acceptance and understanding of diverse perspectives, there can be drawbacks to an overly tolerant culture. Sometimes, tolerance can be taken to an extreme where harmful behaviors or beliefs are allowed to persist unchecked in the name of acceptance. This can lead to a lack of accountability and enable discrimination or injustice to go unaddressed. It is important to strike a balance between tolerance and holding individuals accountable for their actions to ensure a healthy and equitable society.
-
Where does tolerance end?
Tolerance ends when it enables or condones harm, discrimination, or injustice towards others. It is important to set boundaries and not tolerate actions or behaviors that violate basic human rights or cause harm to individuals or communities. Tolerance should not be used as an excuse to overlook or accept harmful actions, and it is crucial to stand up against intolerance and injustice.
-
Does tolerance have limits?
Yes, tolerance does have limits. While it is important to be open-minded and accepting of different beliefs, opinions, and lifestyles, there are certain behaviors and actions that should not be tolerated, such as hate speech, discrimination, violence, and harm towards others. It is important to set boundaries and stand up against intolerance and injustice in order to create a safe and inclusive society.

Imperial Heartland : Immigration, Working-class Culture and Everyday Tolerance, 1917–1947
Working-class Britons played a crucial role in the pioneering settlement and integration of South Asians in imperial Britain.Using a host of new and neglected sources, Imperial Heartland revises the history of early South Asian immigration to Britain, focusing on the northern English city of Sheffield.Rather than viewing immigration through the lens of inevitable conflict, this study takes an alternative approach, situating mixed marriages and inter-racial social networks centrally within the South Asian settlement of modern Britain.Whilst acknowledging the episodic racial conflict of the early inter-war period, David Holland challenges assumptions that insurmountable barriers of race, religion and culture existed between the British working classes and non-white newcomers.Imperial Heartland closely examines the reactions of working-class natives to these young South Asian men and overturns our pre-conceptions that hostility to perceived racial or national difference was an overriding pre-occupation of working-class people during this period.Imperial Heartland therefore offers a fresh and inspiring new perspective on the social and cultural history of modern Britain.

Window of Tolerance Laminated Card
First coined in Daniel J. Siegel’s The Developing Mind, the window of tolerance refers to each individual’s “window” of emotional activation, inside which they are comfortable and can function optimally.Everyone’s window is unique, and every window has the potential to change—to narrow or widen.Widening one’s window of tolerance for certain emotions can increase the capacity to live more fully and freely within that window, and may be said to be the central work of therapy.Individuals operating within their windows of tolerance can effectively cope with and come to enjoy and appreciate their emotions. With this laminated card, Dr. Siegel’s celebrated concept is made available in a convenient, easily accessible format.With a visual depiction of the window of tolerance on one side of the card and a summary of the key concepts on the other, mental health practitioners will find this product especially useful in exploring the window of tolerance with their clients.

How important is tolerance?
Tolerance is extremely important in fostering a peaceful and harmonious society. It allows people to coexist with those who have different beliefs, values, and backgrounds, promoting understanding and empathy. Without tolerance, there is a risk of conflict, discrimination, and division within communities. It is essential for creating a world where diversity is celebrated and everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
-
Isn't tolerance also ignorance?
Tolerance is not necessarily ignorance. Tolerance is the ability to accept and respect different beliefs, opinions, and behaviors, even if one does not agree with them. It is about recognizing and acknowledging the diversity of perspectives and experiences. Ignorance, on the other hand, is the lack of knowledge or understanding about a particular subject. While tolerance does involve accepting differences, it does not mean turning a blind eye to injustice or inequality. It is important to educate oneself and engage in open dialogue in order to truly understand and appreciate the diversity around us.

What is ecological tolerance?
Ecological tolerance refers to the range of environmental conditions within which a species can survive and reproduce. This includes factors such as temperature, humidity, pH, and nutrient availability. Species with a wide ecological tolerance can thrive in a variety of conditions, while those with narrow tolerance are more limited in their ability to survive in different environments. Understanding ecological tolerance is important for conservation efforts and managing ecosystems, as it helps to predict how species may respond to environmental changes.

How can the tolerance range of a tolerance curve be determined in ecology?
The tolerance range of a tolerance curve in ecology can be determined by conducting experiments that expose organisms to different levels of a limiting factor, such as temperature, pH, or salinity. By measuring the performance or survival of the organisms at each level of the factor, researchers can identify the upper and lower limits at which the organisms can tolerate the factor. The range between these limits represents the tolerance range of the organisms, providing valuable information about their ecological niche and potential responses to environmental changes.
