Mahmood Mamdani
“Although the denazification process was widely reviled in Germany and beyond, in the aftermath of the Cold War, the logic of Nuremberg was revived in postcolonial contexts under the name of transitional justice, which repackages criminalization and victim’s justice in the language of human rights.

“Many of the laws are also quoted, expanded, and revised in the New Testament, for example in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) and in the “household codes” of some letters, such as Ephesians 5:22–6:9, Colossians 3:18–4:1, and 1 Peter 2:18–3:7. The household codes in particular also have parallels in Greek and Roman literature.”
Michael Coogan, The Bible: What Everyone Needs to Know®

“Yet in Germany no less than the United States, the political meaning of genocide has never been widely understood. Both populations have, for the most part, denounced genocide as a racist act, but neither has recognized that it was also a productive one, whose outcome is the nation-states in which they live.”
Mahmood Mamdani, Neither Settler nor Native: The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities

Joseph Berger
“The atmosphere in the hall is electric with anticipation, as it might be for Bruce Springsteen at a sold-out concert or at a public appearance at Buckingham Palace by the queen of England. Indeed, this hall is also packed with breathless and enthusiastic devotees. But the star the audience is waiting for is not a musician or a queen, but a simple-living, elderly rabbi—the Rebbe or grand rabbi of the exclusively Hasidic village of New Square, New York. And what he will do is not entertain but simply light a Chanukah menorah.”
Joseph Berger, The Pious Ones

Leonardo Colombati
“It is thus inevitable that the New Man of rock ’n’ roll was incarnated in the mid-seventies in the figure of Bruce Springsteen, a singer-songwriter whose principal merit was that of showing us the entire DNA map of American music. There is not one paradigm of modern music that he did not bend to comply with his personal narrative urgency: rockabilly, soul, rhythm and blues, punk, folk, country, pop, jazz . . . Springsteen does not change popular music, he incessantly reworks it, keeping its roots alive.”
Leonardo Colombati, Bruce Springsteen: Like a Killer in the Sun: Selected Lyrics 1972-2017
