Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Guerin's style has the 'epic' quality of socialist discourse of the 30s, and yet no reader can be indifferent to the moments of real lyricism in his writing-the evocation of the sounds of Nazism, the powerful sense of his privilege and responsibility as a witness."-Alice Kaplan, author of French Lessons: A Memoir "Gracefully translated and generously introduced by Robert Schwartzwald, Daniel Guerin's The Brown Plague is a major document of its time. Though it offers a glimpse into a Left political culture that has, today, largely receded from view, the book's significance is far from merely commemorative. In its utopian political commitments and suffused homoerotic tonalities, The Brown Plague imagines a future that could, perhaps, be ours as well."-Andrew Parker, coeditor of Nationalisms and Sexualities Read more...
