Greg Grandin

    Greg Grandin is een historicus wiens geschriften de complexe kwesties van macht, kolonialisme en verzet onderzoeken. Zijn werk, omschreven als 'meeslepend, briljant en noodzakelijk', verkent onderbelichte historische verhalen om hedendaagse zorgen te belichten. Grandin combineert meesterlijk grondig historisch onderzoek met inzichtelijke literaire analyse, en creëert werken die zowel urgent als tijdloos zijn. Zijn schrijven daagt lezers uit om de blijvende nalatenschap van het verleden op het heden onder ogen te zien.
