Review: "She was a Jew born in Germany in the early twentieth century, and she studied with the greatest German minds of her day - Martin Heidegger and Karl Jaspers among them.After the rise of the Nazis, she emigrated to America, where she proceeded to write some of the most searching, hard-hitting reflections on the agonizing issues of the day - totalitarianism in both Nazi and Stalinist garb; Zionism and the legacy of the Holocaust; federally mandated school desegregation and civil rights in the United States; and the nature of evil."."The Portable Hannah Arendt offers substantial excerpts from the three works that ensured her international and enduring stature: The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Human Condition, and Eichmann in Jerusalem. Additionally, this volume includes several other provocative essays, as well as her correspondence with other influential figures of the time.These thoughtfully chosen pieces form an eloquent testament to a fearless thinker who argued for justice and hope in the middle of an anguished century."--BOOK JACKET.
