Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 #4
新歐洲 舊歐洲1989~2005
小國如何與大國共存？請問歐洲。
轉型正義如何落實？請問歐洲。
貧富不均如何解決？請問歐洲。
一九八九年，蘇聯解體，東歐從鐵幕走出，在歐洲大門外張望，極力想重返歐洲，貧窮的東歐，讓四十多年來，偏安一隅的富裕西歐開始動搖，不斷詢問：歐洲人是誰？什麼能代表歐洲？
歐洲大地上的裂痕，除了國與國間的戰爭，還藏在對待猶太人的罪愆裡，各地樹立起紀念碑，象徵對往事的整頓和釋懷。只不過，這場與過去的和解反而提出了另一個難解的疑惑：誰是受傷最深的民族？尤其對東歐來說，受到共產主義迫害的人，難道會比猶太人來得少，來得輕嗎？
族群的爭端並未停歇，全球化下，許多外來移民來到歐洲，形塑多元文化、多元宗教的社會，但是，當經濟困境一來，歐洲白人便開始排外，極右派種族主義成為足以挑起選民激情的新主張。
借用德國詩人海涅的說法，如果愛歐洲的心，能夠像十九世紀民族主義剛萌芽時，法國式的愛國心那樣，具有延伸性，能超越歐洲，超越白人，擴及世界，也許歐洲能成就另一番新局；那是歐洲的機會，也是挑戰。

About the author
Tony Judt
56 books666 followersBorn in 1948, Tony Judt was raised in the East End of London by a mother whose parents had immigrated from Russia and a Belgian father who descended from a line of Lithuanian rabbis. Judt was educated at Emanuel School, before receiving a BA (1969) and PhD (1972) in history from the University of Cambridge.
Like many other Jewish parents living in postwar Europe, his mother and father were secular, but they sent him to Hebrew school and steeped him in the Yiddish culture of his grandparents, which Judt says he still thinks of wistfully. Urged on by his parents, Judt enthusiastically waded into the world of Israeli politics at age 15. He helped promote the migration of British Jews to Israel. In 1966, having won an exhibition to King's College Cambridge, he took a gap year and went to work on kibbutz Machanaim. When Nasser expelled UN troops from Sinai in 1967, and Israel mobilized for war, like many European Jews, he volunteered to replace kibbutz members who had been called up. During and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, he worked as a driver and translator for the Israel Defense Forces.
But during the aftermath of the war, Judt's belief in the Zionist enterprise began to unravel. "I went with this idealistic fantasy of creating a socialist, communitarian country through work," Judt has said. The problem, he began to believe, was that this view was "remarkably unconscious of the people who had been kicked out of the country and were suffering in refugee camps to make this fantasy possible."
Career: King's College, Cambridge, England, fellow, 1972-78; University of California at Berkeley, assistant professor, 1978-80; St. Anne's College, Oxford University, Oxford, England, fellow, 1980-87; New York University, New York, NY, professor of history, 1987--, director of Remarque Institute, 1995--.
Awards: American Council of Learned Societies, fellow, 1980; British Academy Award for Research, 1984; Nuffield Foundation fellow, 1986; Guggenheim fellow, 1989; Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction finalist, 2006, for Postwar: A History of Europe since 1945.

从旁观者的角度来看，苏联解体之后的欧洲史就相对不那么有趣了，充满了太多无关紧要的争执和细节，撑不起一册书的体量，即便有南斯拉夫内战也于事无补。但对生活在其中的人们来说，无趣的时代往往才是最好的时代吧。
