Learning from the Germans

"A study of how the US and Germany have dealt with their racist legacies; and a new theory of what drove Hitler...part memoir, part prescription and a project heavily influenced by her own biography. Growing up in the American south during the civil rights era, and spending much of her adult life in and around Berlin as a Jewish woman, Neiman has a keen ear for discomforts and awkwardnesses and the small tics of guilt and avoidance."
