Turns to theories and cultural representations of psychosocial life to reflect on, and better understand, the challenges of learning in times of social strife.
"This book constitutes a rare combination of highly original theoretical thinking with literary style and structure. Its contribution to the field of psychoanalytic-educational research (and far beyond it) is huge. When History Returns both connects the psychoanalytic and the educational ‘task’-placing the whole issue of education within a very broad context that touches on history, social thinking, dream work, and the topic of transference, among many other topics-and enacts, in its very writing, the same breadth and depth to which it points and aims. It is a theoretical-literary document that is not only rare in the intellectual challenge it offers but also rare in its beauty." – Dana Amir, author of Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language: Clinical Cases on the Edge
