The swastika is an ancient symbol of good fortune but it is now most widely recognised in the West as a symbol of hate and racial prejudice following to its appropriation by the Nazi Party in Germany in the early half of the 20th century. In many Eastern religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, it remains a sacred and auspicious symbol of well-being. This volume examines the history and use of the symbols over time and in different cultures.
