The Road Home. Filip-Lucian Iorga In dialogue with Prince Nicholas of Romania
Starting from the dialogue initiated by historian Filip-Lucian Iorga, this e-book introduces Prince Nicholas (Nicolae), the grandson of His Majesty King Michael I, from his first visit to Romania in 1992 to his decision to settle down in Romania, in 2012. The reader has the opportunity of knowing Prince Nicholas from his earliest childhood, a fan of knightly stories, but also willing to explore the world, a dynamic adolescent with a passion for cars, just like his royal grandfather, recounting with a genuine sense of humour the adventures he went through in his attempt to obtain a driver’s license in Kenya. As a young man, Prince Nicholas went to a traditional British college and studied m...

Marginal Spaces and Cultures of Dissent in Socialist Romania's Black Sea
This book analyzes two Romanian villages – 2 Mai and Vama Veche – as spaces of relative freedom during the last decades of socialist rule. This microhistorical study refutes simplistic views of the communist past which focus on political figures and events, and instead explores ordinary people and everyday life. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, it considers a broad range of sources, including official Communist Party documents, secret police files, personal memoirs, oral history interviews, ethnographic films, songs, and artistic performances. This book intertwines three narrative threads: that of the visitors (mainly members of the Romanian intelligentsia, young people, and hippies); that of the local inhabitants; and that of 'authority' (local and central state agents actively engaged in surveillance and supervision). In doing so, it interrogates the spectrum of consent/dissent and resistance/collaboration hitherto neglected in scholarship.

Justice, Memory and Redress in Romania
Are there any lessons Romania can teach transitional justice scholars and practitioners? This book argues that important insights emerge when analyzing a country with a moderate record of coming to terms with its communist past. Taking a broad definition of transitional justice as their starting point, contributors provide fresh assessments of the history commission, court trials, public identifications of former communist perpetrators, commemorations, and unofficial artistic projects that seek to address and redress the legacies of communist human rights violations. Theoretical and practical questions regarding the continuity of state agencies, the sequencing of initiatives, their advantages and limitations, the reasons why some reckoning programs are enacted and others are not, and these measures’ efficacy in promoting truth and justice are answered throughout the volume. Contributors include seasoned scholars from Romania, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and current and former leaders of key Romanian transitional justice institutions.

Exerciții de neuitare
Cuvânt înainte de Ana Blandiana: Un spirit demn de admirație Septembrie 2021 În mod evident, mi-ar fi mai ușor să scriu despre acest al doilea volum de publicistică al Ilenei Costea dacă n-ar fi vorba în el și despre mine. Dar în același timp nu pot să mă fac că nu înțeleg că atunci când e vorba despre mine, din perspectiva Ilenei Costea se văd – ca într-un caleidoscop –, nu doar versurile și ideile mele, ci și inspiratele desene ale lui Jerry W. McDaniel, îmbinând atât de paradoxal fiorul poetic cu degajarea postmodernității; și sensibilele recitări în română (Iulia Lumânare, Lidia Lazu, Petre Moraru) și interpretări în engleză (Elena Se...
