More about the book
Nostalgia, supposedly, is the sphere of the sentimentalist. But also, and most definitely, it is a force in the creation of the present and future and thus worth careful thought. Yesterday argues that nostalgia's critics defend an idea of progress as naive as the longing they denounce, while conflating nostalgia itself with historical whitewashing.
