Looking Back

Didi van Frits tries with his life story (which describes conditions in Germany after 1945) to initiate a social discussion, which inspires the reader to think about social change concerning political developments regarding general educational concepts or professional fields.

He uses psychological, sociological, and philosophical perspectives to examine how to escape sometimes invisible methods of oppression that make the rules in the family, or in jobs, or in political spheres.

He looks back on an inspiring life story and on extensive scientific reading.

Last but not least, he tries to open up a broader spectrum of understanding with his photo archive and with his emotional experiences as a guitarist (in small music pubs).

It is a story about growing older, life as a maturing process. His lyrics describe the positive influence of intercultural encounters and let us see the possibility of reshaping one's identity against an original family or professional determination.
