The author self declares the book to be about the Maidan Revolution and the war in the Donbas. The book is composed of conversations with people who were present at Maidan in 2013-14. The conversations with these people engrossing, terrifying, enervating, and the sense of being there physically is palpable. The revolution on the Maidan was livestreamed on Youtube with Maidan supporters sending messages on Facebook and Twitter to supporters. To understand all the permutations of Maidan, one must read this book. The author conversed or corresponded with over 30 people who were physically present at Maidan on multiple occasions and not a one states a word about Americans funding Maidan (as has been claimed by pro Russians.) This book is the best narrative I’ve read of the events of 2013-2014 on the Maidan ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A vivid and intimate account of the Ukrainian Revolution, the rare moment when the political became the existential What is worth dying for? While the world watched the uprising on the Maidan as an episode in geopolitics, those in Ukraine during the extraordinary winter of 2013-14 lived the revolution as an existential transformation: the blurring of night and day, the loss of a sense of time, the sudden disappearance of fear, the imperative to make choices. In this lyrical and intimate book, Marci Shore evokes the human face of the Ukrainian Revolution. Grounded in the true stories of activists and soldiers, parents and children, Shore's book blends a narrative of suspenseful choices with a historian's reflections on what revolution is and what it means. She gently sets her portraits of individual revolutionaries against the past as they understand it-and the future as they hope to make it. In so doing, she provides a lesson about human solidarity in a world, our world, where the boundary between reality and fiction is ever more effaced. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
