In the Shadow of Remains

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the realm of Holocaust literature, a tale of deception unfolds, challenging our perception of truth and the resilience of memory. "In the Shadow of Remains" delves into the extraordinary case of Binjamin Wilkomirski, a man who captivated the world with his heart-wrenching memoir, Fragments: Memories of a Wartime Childhood, only to be exposed as an imposter.

This book embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind Wilkomirski's fabrication, meticulously piecing together the fragmented puzzle of his life. Through a rigorous investigation, we expose the man behind the mask, revealing the motives that drove him to construct a story of unimaginable suffering.

As we navigate the labyrinthine twists and turns of this tale, we confront uncomfortable truths and grapple with the ethical dilemmas that arise when the line between fact and fiction blurs. We examine the impact of Wilkomirski's deception on Holocaust survivors, the erosion of trust in historical accounts, and the challenges of preserving the memory of the Holocaust in the face of manipulation and fraud.

This book is not merely an exposé of one man's deceit; it is an exploration of the human capacity for both great suffering and great deceit. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of uncritical acceptance of narratives, the importance of historical accuracy, and the need for vigilance in the face of those who seek to exploit the pain of others for personal gain.

"In the Shadow of Remains" is a thought-provoking examination of the complexities of memory, the fragility of truth, and the enduring legacy of the Holocaust. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of history, ethics, and the human condition.

Frontline Bodies - Sports and...

Nicolas Martin-Breteau, Damion...

In Frontline Bodies, Nicolas Martin-Breteau argues that sports are not—and have never been—purely about entertainment for Black Americans. Instead, beginning in the 1890s during Reconstruction, Black Americans proactively used athletics as a tactic to fight racial oppression. 
 
 
 
Martin-Breteau considers the work of Edwin B. Henderson, a prominent Black physical educator, civil rights activist, and historian of Black sports. Training Black children as athletes, Henderson felt, would work both to fortify racial pride and to dismantle racial prejudices—two necessary requirements for a successful political liberation struggle. In this way, physical education became political education. 
 
 
 
By the end of the twentieth century, Martin-Breteau argues, racial uplift through sports had lost its emancipating power. The emphasis on the accumulation of wealth for professional athletes, as well as sports' ability to reinforce anti-Black stereotypes, had become a political problem for true collective liberation. For a marginalized group of people that has been physically excluded from the democratic process, however, sports remain a political resource. By studying the relationship between athletics and politics, Frontline Bodies renews the history of minority bodies and their power of action.

The Joyous Cosmology -...

Alan W. Watts, Richard Alpert,...

A classic account of the psychedelic experience 
 
 
 
The Joyous Cosmology is Alan Watts's exploration of the insight that the consciousness-changing drugs LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin can facilitate "when accompanied with sustained philosophical reflection by a person who is in search, not of kicks, but of understanding." More than an artifact, it is both a riveting memoir of Watts's personal experiments and a profound meditation on our perennial questions about the nature of existence and the existence of the sacred.
