In Scapegoat, S. Elias W. Sharp delivers a gripping, clear‑eyed examination of how fear, power, and prejudice collide to create cycles of blame that devastate real lives. Blending historical insight with contemporary urgency, Sharp traces the patterns that allow societies to target the vulnerable—revealing how these narratives are constructed, weaponized, and ultimately dismantled. It’s a compelling call to recognize the humanity behind every headline and to challenge the systems that decide who gets blamed and who gets believed.

A writer and cultural critic known for his rigorous research, moral clarity, and ability to translate complex political forces into deeply human stories, Sharp brings both scholarly depth and lived experience to his work.

Join us as he discusses the making of Scapegoat, the histories that shaped it, and why confronting these narratives is essential to building a more just and compassionate future.
