Troubled Memory, Second Edition

Resumen del Libro

Libro Troubled Memory, Second Edition

This powerful book tells the story of Anne Skorecki Levy, a Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of reputed neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. The first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they subsequently made for themselves in the United States, Troubled Memory is also a dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto as a group, the Skoreckis evaded deportation to Treblinka by posing as Aryans. The family eventually made their way to New Orleans, where they became part of a vibrant Jewish community. Lawrence Powell traces their dramatic odyssey and explores the events that eventually triggered Anne Skorecki Levy's brave decision to honor the suffering of the past by confronting the recurring specter of racist hatred.

La limpieza étnica de Palestina

Libro La limpieza étnica de Palestina

Los israelíes conocen como “Guerra de la Independencia” la de 1948. Para los palestinos es la “Nakba”, la “catástrofe”, puesto que su resultado fue uno de los procesos de limpieza étnica más amplios y dramáticos de nuestro tiempo: cerca de un millón de palestinos fueron obligados a emigrar a punta de fusil, abandonado sus tierras, sus bienes y sus hogares; hubo matanzas de civiles como la de Deir Yassin y cientos de poblados fueron destruidos deliberadamente. Pese a sus dramáticas dimensiones, los israelíes han conseguido ocultar este crimen contra la humanidad durante...

Organización, identidad e imagen de las colectividades vascas de la emigración, siglos XVI-XXI

Libro Organización, identidad e imagen de las colectividades vascas de la emigración, siglos XVI-XXI

Esta obra reflexiona sobre la formación de las colectividades vascas en el exterior desde el s. XVI hasta los albores del s. XXI. Los vascos, como otros pueblos emigrantes del pasado y presente, presentaron una gran tendencia a mostrarse ante las sociedades que los acogieron de un modo colectivo, adoptando una identidad peculiar que permeaba a todos los procedentes de un mismo origen geográfico y cultural. Estas identidades colectivas descansaban en dos pilares: una organización interna nucleada en torno a la aparición de instituciones que, si bien nunca acogieron a la totalidad de los...
