DESCRIPTION:Kübra Gümüşay\, born in Hamburg in 1988\, studied politica
 l science in Hamburg and London. She is the author of the bestselling book
  “Sprache § Sein” (“Speaking and Being” to be published in May 20
 22 at Profile Books) and founder of several award winning campaigns and as
 sociations – e.g. the campaign #SchauHin against racism and the feminist
  alliance #ausnahmslos for which she was awarded the Clara Zetkin Prize fo
 r Women. Most recently\, eeden\, a feminist co-creation space in Hamburg (
 selected as „Kultur- und Kreativpiloten Deutschland“ in 2019)\, and fu
 ture_s\, a feminist research- and advocacy organisation for desirable futu
 res . In 2018\, Forbes Magazine selected her as one of “30 under 30” i
 n Europe. As a Mercator Senior Fellow\, she is currently a fellow at CRASS
 H and Leverhulme Center for the Future of Intelligence at Cambridge Univer
 sity.\n\nThis book pursues a yearning. A yearning for a language that does
  not reduce people to categories\, for a form of speaking that lets people
  exist in their rich diversity\, for true communal thinking in a polarized
  world. Kübra Gümüşay has long been advocating equality and engagement
  on equal footing in public discourses. In her first book\, she explores t
 he question of how language dictates politics and shapes the way we think.
  She demonstrates how seeing people as part of a group forces them to expr
 ess themselves as such and makes them invisible as individuals. But how ca
 n human beings talk as humans. And how can we all - in a time when hate sp
 eech becomes increasingly prevalent - cultivate a different way of communi
 cating with each other?
