We are nothing in an absolute sense. We are only what we have
been-more exactly, what we remember we were. So begins the latest
book by one of Europe's most influential modern sociologists,
Franco Ferrarotti. In The Temptation to Forget, Ferrarotti examines
how many in the waning years of the 20th century are attempting to
forget or reinvent history to serve the purposes of ethnic, racial,
or religious separation. Ferrarotti focuses on anti-Semitism and
its re-emergence among the Skinheads of the 1980s to draw parallels
to how the Holocaust has been reinterpreted/forgotten, and to
analyze the implications of this for relations with other ethnic,
racial, and religious minorities. Ethnic cleansing may be a new
term, but, as Ferrarotti illustrates, it has a long heritage in
thought and action. This book will make for provocative reading
among professional sociologists and students of contemporary social
issues.
