Beoordelingen
Synopsis uitgever
"With this book, Mrazek offers readers a rich, complex picture that greatly enhances existing knowledge of concentration camps in the previous century. . . . Supported by rigorous research and the author's lucid writing style, this volume is an interesting read. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." -- Q. E. Wang * Choice * "This book offers an urgent reminder, and its remarkable range of engagement with thinkers-from Levinas to Isaac Bashevis Singer-gives it the energy of a living conversation. A useful intervention into holocaust and genocide studies, this work should be included in courses on empire and colonization more generally . . . plus chapters could serve as productive additions to a range of classroom conversations." -- Spencer Dew * Religion and Law * "A strength of this work is its emphasis on portraying the lives of camp people as they lived them. Mrazek leads his reader through the quotidian activities of the camps, touching on theatre, music, study-even the geography of the camps in their block arrangements. . . . Mrazek has provided the means of developing entirely new analyses of the history of concentration camps." -- Brenda Melendy * International Social Science Review * "The Complete Lives of Camp People is a stunning collage assembled from witness testimonies, administrative instructions, philosophical reflections, and poetic illuminations. By juxtaposing the stories of two 'model camps'-Boven Digoel and Theresienstadt-Rudolf Mrazek explores the sensory, material, experiential, and spatial dimensions of twentieth-century internment camps. This is the 'thickest description' of camp life yet to appear in print, providing valuable insights into a ubiquitous feature of modernity." -- Iris Rachamimov, Tel Aviv University "The Complete Lives of Camp People is quite simply an extraordinary, provocative, challenging, and brilliant work. Offering an audacious theorization of modernity via modernity's twin forms of violence-colonialism and the camp-Rudolf Mrazek has written perhaps the finest book I have read this decade." -- Rosalind C. Morris, Professor of Anthropology, Columbia University Meer lezen...
