“Save and Burn”, like “The Library in Crisis” discusses the history of civilization through the library. This work presents a series of discussants who pinpoint how libraries and the current-day preservational instincts they embody have extended democracy in Ireland, UK, and the West in generally; it addresses the paradox of all western democracies who are obsessed with preserving their own past as well the pasts of other civilizations while simultaneously creating murderous dictatorships: “Save and Burn” looks at the burning of books in Occupied Palestine and Iraq.
