Abstract (may include machine translation)

Lea Ypi, Indignity: A Life Reimagined, Farrar, Straus and Giroux; Allen Lane, 2025. Albanian-born political theorist Lea Ypi has built her reputation on turning the ruins of communism into poignant meditations on freedom and dignity. Her new book presents a moving portrait of her grandmother, though its reliance on fictionalized scenes undermines the power of lived memory.
