Un'indagine ambiziosa e avvincente sulle eredità morali che si rifiutano ostinatamente di passare' Brendan Simms Mentre il mondo occidentale lotta con le sue eredità di razzismo e colonialismo, cosa possiamo imparare dal passato per andare avanti? Learning from the Germans di Susan Neiman offre una prospettiva urgentemente necessaria su come un paese può venire a patti con i suoi torti storici. Neiman, cresciuta come una ragazza bianca nel sud degli Stati Uniti durante il movimento per i diritti civili, è una donna ebrea che ha trascorso gran parte della sua vita adulta a Berlino. In una prosa chiara e avvincente, usa questa prospettiva unica per combinare riflessione filosofica, storia personale e conversazioni sia con americani che con tedeschi che sono alle prese con i mali delle loro storie nazionali. Concentrandosi sulle particolarità di quelle storie, fornisce esempi per altre nazioni, che si trovino ad affrontare un nazionalismo risorgente, dibattiti in corso sulle riparazioni o controversie che circondano monumenti storici e i ricordi controversi che evocano. Una lettura necessaria per tutti coloro che si confrontano con il proprio passato travagliato.
