The European Identity: Historical and Cultural Realities We Cannot Deny de Stephen Green

The European Identity: Historical and Cultural Realities We Cannot Deny: Haus Curiosities

Autor Stephen Green
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2017
What—if anything—do the twenty-eight member states of the European Union have in common? Amidst all the variety, can one even speak of a European identity? In this timely book, Stephen Green explores these questions and argues for the necessity of the European voice in the international community.

Green points out that Europeans can readily define the differences that separate them from others around the globe, but they have yet to clearly define their own similarities across member states. He argues that Europe has something distinctive and vitally important to offer: the experience of a unique journey through centuries of exploration and conflict, errors and lessons, soul-searching and rebuilding—an evolution of universal significance.

Coming at a time when the divisions in European culture have been laid bare by recent financial crises and calls for independence,The European Identityidentifies one of the biggest challenges for all of the member states of the European Union.

Notes

Recenzii

"Haus is to be congratulated for its courage in dusting off the political pamphlet format and publishing a series of essays, short enough to be read in one sitting, in the internet age."

“Green argues the prime case for Europe as shared values rather than share values. . . . Certainly this short book should be compulsory reading for the Remain campaign, offering as it does some inspiration, hope and spice for those who self-define as Europeans. . . . The real shock is that this is a Tory . . . who is making the best case for Europe I’ve read in a long time. David Cameron eat your heart out!”

"[A] series of nifty little essays—the thinking person’s commuting read."
