Remembering The Holocaust - ALEXANDER

Remembering The Holocaust Explains Why The Holocaust Has Come To Be Considered The Central Event Of The 20th Century, And What This Means. Presenting Jeffrey Alexanders Controversial Essay That, In The Words Of Geoffrey Hartman, Has Already Become A Classic In The Holocaust Literature, And Following Up With Challenging And Equally Provocative Responses To It, This Book Offers A Sweeping Historical Reconstruction Of The Jewish Mass Murder As It Evolved In The Popular Imagination Of Western Peoples, As Well As An Examination Of Its Consequences. Alexanders Inquiry Points To A Broad Cultural Transition That Took Place In Western Societies After World War Ii: From Confidence In Moving Past The Most Terrible Of Nazi Wartime Atrocities To Pessimism About The Possibility For Overcoming Violence, Ethnic Conflict, And War.
