Als weißer Mann war ich in meinem Leben nie das Opfer von Rassismus. Dieses Buch liefert einen schmerzhaften Einblick darauf, wie Rassismus (auch heute noch!) in Deutschland wirkt. Es wird sowohl mit objektiven Erkentnissen und subjektiven Anekdoten gezeigt, wie Rassismus Individuuen und Menschengruppen trifft. Dabei gibt es auch geschichtliche Herleitungen.

Mir hat es sehr gefallen, dass hier zwischen den stereotypischen Rassisten und Weißen mit rassistischen Bias unterschieden wird. Zudem werden die Probleme intersektional betrachtet (also z.B. Probleme die v.a. schwarze Frauen treffen), was eine differenzierte Analyse ermöglicht.

Dieses Buch bringt mich ins Grübeln und zeigt eine unangenehme Wahrheit. Ich hoffe, dass es von so vielen Menschen wie möglich gelesen wird.

Many people reviewed the book far better than I ever could so I'll just write my impression down.

As a fan of the tv series I was afraid I might not be able to follow along the complex story as a book. However this was rather easy. The storytelling is really descriptive, which allows the reader to get a detailed imagination of what people and places look like. It is a really great dark fantasy book and I enjoyed reading it!

It is a really unusual tale of a middle-aged part time worker completely satisfied with her life being confronted with different expectations of the people around her. This books highlights how people completely comfortable with their life get looked down upon by people viewing them as a 'failure'. I thought it gave a great reason to show how a good life not adhearing to the societal expectations can turn terrible by adhearing to them. It is partly cold partly funny and I loved every word from it.

However it might be a bit different from other books. Due to its' short length I still recommend this book to anyone interested in societal topics and simple living.

The manifesto is not a highly complex and detailed view of Marxism and its' concepts. It served as an easy read for people to get a simplified understanding of the oppression structures during the industrial revolution and lists a set of goals which should be achieved to establish a communist society.

This should be seen as an easy introduction to the Marxist philosophy and a potential starting point for further research into this topic.

This tale highlights how an idealistic revolution can turn to a dystopia worse than the oppresion from before. There are many parellels to the story of the Soviet Union which makes it especially interesting for history nerds.

The author did a great job at bringing this grim atmosphere to live. We follow four women trying to get by with a bad paying job in the night shift of a factory. All of them have their respective problems but one day one of the women drastically changes that.

For anyone wanting to read an atmospheric crime story set in '90s Tokyo should pick this up. We get a look at the less favourable sides of this city and its' citizens.

Dieses Buch bietet einen idealen Einblick für Taktikinteressenten, von dem Beginn des taktiklosen Kickens bis zum WM-Sieg 2014, werden sämtliche Facetten der Fußballtaktikgeschichte erklärt. Das Buch eignet sich auch für Menschen ohne Vorwissen, da die einzelnen Systeme und Konzepte einfach erklärt werden.

Ich empfehle das Buch allen, die ein bisschen mehr Hintergrundwissen zur Fußballtaktik lernen wollen. Allerdings ist das Buch etwas in die Jahre gekommen, entsprechend werden nicht alle aktuell gängigen Systeme betrachtet.

Das Buch erklärt sehr deutlich wie sich der Untergang des HSV über mehrere Jahre angedeutet hat. Es wird sowohl auf sportlicher als auch auf organisatorischer Ebene gezeigt, wie eine Reihe an Fehlentscheidungen aus dem "Dino" den "Unaufsteigbaren" gemacht haben. Das ist eine Warnung an alle Funktionäre.

Dabei ist das Buch nicht nur für HSV-Fans oder Fußballexperten. Ich empfehle es allen, die halbwegs an deutschem Fußball interessiert sind!

The mc is a ghost wandering through Tokyo and observing the people around him. During this we get an understanding of how differently homeless people are treated in Japan. This highlights the vast differences in japanese social classes and the missing understanding of the wealthier towards the poorer. During the whole book there are parellels to the japanese emperor.

It's a tragic book about the marginalised people of Japan.

The book contains multiple stories written in the '90s in North Korea. Everyone of them details how a small problem can lead to life threatening dangers in the most isolated dictatorship on the world.

I highly recommend reading this without knowing too much about this.
