Troubled Memory, Second Edition

Resumen del Libro

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.

The Myth of the Non-Russian

The Myth of the Non-Russian explores the magical realist prose of two non-Slavic authors writing in Russian in the Soviet Union in the 1970s-1980s. Erika Haber argues that these authors juxtaposed their native myth with Soviet myth, thus undermining the Soviet prescription of national conformity in art by suggesting a plurality of worlds and truths.

El evangelio de la transición

A polemic work due to its hefty critic to public figures and to those who see the electoral reformations -which this book demystifies-, as a historical achievement. The transition to democracy requires not only the dismantlement of the old regime, but also the design of the new normative and institutional arrangement that preserves the plural and multiple spirit of the nation. The task is immense, but our generation cannot avoid it: citizens must not stay apart. The mixture of fill and hope has to be translated into critic, proposal, and active participation. The essays that I have gathered...
