- Title
"Quaint and Obsolete?".
- Authors
GREENBERG, KAREN J.
- Abstract
The article discusses the author's personal connection to the issue of the Guantánamo Bay detention facility and reflects on why it continues to captivate their attention. The author highlights the lack of outrage in the American mainstream over the ongoing existence of Guantánamo, despite its clear violations of due process and human rights. They attribute their own revulsion towards Guantánamo to the worldview of their father's generation, who believed in the ideals of justice and civil rights. The author also expresses concern about the fading interest in Guantánamo and the broader trend of forgetting traumatic events and abandoning history. They argue that it is crucial to remember and address the wrongs of Guantánamo rather than letting it fade into forgotten history.
