Contemporary history. The redemptive imagination
Film
Contemporary History: The entire team of historians joins Professor Miller in examining the last quarter of the twentieth century. A montage of events opens the program and sets the stage for a discussion of the period-and the difficulty of examining the contemporary history with true historical perspective. Television critic John Leonard offers a footnote on the impact of television on the way we experience recent events. The Redemptive Imagination: Storytelling is a relentless human urge and its power forges with memory to become the foundation of history. Novelists Charles Johnson (Middle Passage), Arthur Golden (Memoirs of a Geisha), and Esmeralda Santiago (America's Dream) join Professor Miller in discussing the intersection of history and story. Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., closes the series with a reflection on the power of the human imagination
