The Memory of Pain
In this book, Camila Loew analyzes four women’s testimonial literary writings on the Holocaust to examine and question some of the tenets of the fields of Holocaust studies, gender studies, and testimony. Through a close reading of the works of Charlotte Delbo, Margarete Buber-Neumann, Ruth Klüger, and Marguerite Duras, Loew foregrounds these authors’ search for a written form to engage with their experiences of the extreme. Although each chapter contains its individual focus and features, the book possesses a unity in intention, concerns, and consequences. In the theoretical introduction that unites the four chapters, Loew eschews essentialism and revises the emergence of the field of ...

Bringing the War Home
In this first comprehensive comparison of left-wing violence in the United States and West Germany, Jeremy Varon focuses on America's Weather Underground and Germany's Red Army Faction to consider how and why young, middle-class radicals in prosperous democratic societies turned to armed struggle in efforts to overthrow their states. Based on a wealth of primary material, ranging from interviews to FBI reports, this book reconstructs the motivation and ideology of violent organizations active during the 1960s and 1970s.

Me, Mike, and the Agency
The terms group home and foster care are often fearsome labels, Dickensian in character, associated as they frequently are with unthinkable historic and modern outrages. But for author Ben Gordon and his brother Mike, their relationship with Jewish Family and Childrens Service of Boston was anything but fearsome. In this memoir, Gordon narrates his experiences beginning in 1950 when he was nine years old and his brother Mike was eight. After being taken from a dysfunctional home, the two brothers resided in three group homes and two foster homes during a span of twelve years. With details culled from detailed agency records, Gordon tells their story. Me, Mike, and the Agency relates the Gordon familys difficulties and the manner in which the agency was, or was not, able to satisfy the boys needs. It captures and conveys Gordons emotional responses to his situation, and it considers agency policies and practice as they affected Gordon, Mike, and other children whose lives were profoundly shaped by the Jewish Family and Childrens Service of Boston.

The Life and Music of Gérard Grisey
The first biography of the composer Gérard Grisey shows how the artist's sensuality and rigor came together to form the musical genre known as spectralism. The French composer Gérard Grisey (1946-98) changed the course of music history with his small but potent output. Labeled "spectral" music, his compositions looked to the physics of sound and the capacities of human perception for material and inspiration. Born in Belfort, Grisey was the son of a French Resistance veteran turned car mechanic and a homemaker. His first instrument was as humble as his background: the accordion. But Grisey rose from his provincial background to the heights of his profession. This first biography of Grisey ...
