 The Long Year a 2020 Reader Edited by Thomas J.Sugrue and Caitlin Zaloom

, new book of the Public Book Series is about a year of changing. There are years that changed the world, true. 

1789: the French Revolution, 1929: the economical crisis, 1989: the fall of Communism. 

2020 with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic revealed intense problematics in the world.  Racism exploded, inequalities of various genre emerged, like also an economical crisis never seen before.

In these short writings the thinkers will expose with solid argumentations a year that was remarkably complicated, trying  to avoid another breakdown.

Highly recommended book.

I thank Columbia University Press for the physical copy of the book.
