Yesterday

A New History of Nostalgia

Beschreibung

Nostalgia, supposedly, is the sphere of the sentimentalist. But also, and most definitely, it is a force in the creation of the present and future and thus worth careful thought. Yesterday argues that nostalgiaâ s critics defend an idea of progress as naà ve as the longing they denounce, while conflating nostalgia itself with historical whitewashing.
