It's not even past\" (William Faulkner). Lurking behind the warning is a ponderous question that haunts this collection of stories and essays: Are we going to have to relive it all over again-the era of racial, ethnic, and national tensions that made the 1930s such a terrifying decade in the history of western societies? In two stories and two essays, Salah el Moncef conjures up a set of fearful symmetries between the flimsy diversity and globalism of \"Now,\" and the authoritarian, martial echoes of \"Then,\" a world long consigned to the ash heap of history-or so we think. Moncef's collection of stories and essays is a timely reminder that Now and Then are frightfully similar-a warning we would do well to heed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penelope Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782494412019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Salah El Moncef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42451381158069,"sku":"9782494412019","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3323ca03-9a92-4550-bdbb-abcc8687f5df.jpg?v=1666107912","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/now-and-then-9782494412019","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
