Title: When will we learn our lessons from His-tory?
Product review: If I had the option, I would choose 0 stars, and here's why:While I appreciate the scholarship apparent in this work, I question the value of using literary criticism of Euro-centric works to do what amounts basically to reinforcing the Euro-centric ethic of using secrecy as the currency for perpetrating Euro-centric oppression. In the wake of the Cold War, arguably the most obsessively secrecy-oriented period of Western His-tory, when we faced daily the threat of nuclear annihilation by powers using those secrets to maintain their power, we have the opportunity to re-vision our society to allow ALL its members to truly participate in its visioning and re-formation. But if we continue to perpetrate the myth that some secrets must be kept - regardless of the degree of scholarship we use to make the argument - we will only be successful in maintaining a status quo where the select few continue to hold 95 percent of the power.
