Book talk with Andrei S. Markovits
  
In his memoir The Passport as Home: Comfort in Rootlessness (Central European University Press, 2021) that has been translated into German and Romanian, Markovits regales the reader with personal stories that offer insights into the social, political and cultural developments of the second half of the twentieth century in Central Europe and the United States. For the book talk at CERES, Markovits focussed on Germany's and German culture's indispensable centrality in the life of a Romanian-born, Hungarian-speaking, Vienna-schooled, Columbia-educated and Harvard-formed, middle-class Jewish professor of politics and other subjects.
