Whose Millennium: Theirs or Ours?

Are we doomed to accept history, instead of creating it? Clone days, routines of pain, injustice as Destiny? Whose Millennium? helps us to believe that tomorrow is not another name for today.

—Eduardo Galeano

For many years Daniel Singer has been one of the best, and certainly the sanest, interpreter of things European for American readers. Now, in Whose Millennium?, he has expanded his—and our—horizon to give a view of what may be the next stage in humanity’s zig-zag course toward, if not the stars, a new social balance. Also, thanks to his Balzacian eye for human detail, his prose is a delight to read—as ever.

—Gore Vidal

Magisterial in its historical sweep, fiercely democratic in its vision, Whose Millennium? is the thinking person’s `bridge to the 21st Century.’ There is an alternative to rampant inequality and the corruptions of power, and— ever so modestly and persuasively—Daniel Singer points the way.

—Barbara Ehrenreich

I can think of no journalist more versed, more hip to what is happening in Europe today than Daniel Singer. His humor and smarts make Whose Millennium? a must read for those who want to know where world politics is heading.

—Studs Terkel

An erudite yet accessible, elegant yet straightforward, inspirational yet practical, sophisticated yet uncynical credo for the next century. Aux armes citoyens.

—Victor Navasky

Daniel Singer is the left’s most brilliant arsonist. He sets ablaze whole forests of desiccated cliches about the `end of history’ and the `triumph of the market’ in order to light the way forward for the next generation of radical thinkers and activists.
