Gunter Grass, his nobel prize being revoked, and his book The Drowned and the Saved. Also the book Peeling the Onion is involved.
In August of 2006 Gunter Grass revealed to journalists that he was a member – albeit a youthful member – of the Waffen SS, a paramilitary extension of the Nazi party deemed a criminal organization by the Allied judiciary at Nuremberg. The outcry was enormous. Among other things it was suggested that the Nobel Prize bestowed upon Grass be revoked. Having read Peeling the Onion decide, to whatever extent possible, if Grass, by his own admission, is answerable to the accusations made by Levi in his The Drowned and the Saved, those Levi directs against “average” Germans. Can youth and the forces of history be cited in Grass’ defense? Does he make any sort of effort on his own behalf to excuse his conduct during the war? Is his account believable? Please cite from the two books above.

Reflecting on the three major problems reviewed in the current Wilson text, are they primarily problems of race, primarily of class or do both race and class contribute? Discuss. In the late 1970’s , William Julius Wilson published a book titled “the declining significance of race. by this he meant that class could be more significant than race in explaining the plight of lower-income African Americans. Before the 1970s, the racism of America society limited possibilities for black in all areas of American life. After the civil rights revolution of the 1960s, legal, political and social barriers began to fall down, but not completely. At the same time that this was occurring, a castle-like underclass was emerging within the black community that seemed resistant to improve by anti-discrimination efforts by political and social institutions, hence the work cited above.
